People dislike parts of the original 1978 bill that contunued.

I take issue with this bit: FISA also established the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), a special U.S. Federal court that holds nonpublic sessions to consider issuing search warrants under FISA. Proceedings before the FISC are ex parte, meaning the government is the only party present.

When combined by foreign agents including US citizens, it’s troubling.
