FISA Amendments Act to be debated on monday - Telecom immunity, Warrantless wiretapping, Warrantless searches

This morning, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced on the Senate floor that the Senate FISA renewal bill containing immunity for the telecoms would go to the floor on Monday. The move, which many expected, dismayed opponents of telecom immunity.

The bill allows the warrantless wiretapping of anyone "reasonably believed to be located outside the United States", US citizen or not. The bill also allows the Attorney General to authorize physical searches before applying for a warrant, and grants immunity to electronic communication service providers that comply with warrantless spying.

Please sign this petition asking Congress not to pass this bill.

Even if the Senate passes the bill on monday, the House may not pass it for a while.

FISA Amendments Act of 2007: Physical Searches Without a Warrant

FISA Amendments Act of 2007: Physical Searches Without a Warrant

If you listened to what few news reports there are about the FISA Amendments Act of 2007, you might be forgiven for thinking that the bill concerns electronic surveillance.

You’d be wrong.

To boil it down to a one-sentence conclusion, Section 107 of the FISA Amendments Act of 2007 enables the Attorney General to order physical searches of anyone’s property or possessions without a warrant or accountability, at the whim of the Attorney General. That’s a frightening prospect.
