FISA Amendments Act Basics

Here are the fundamentals of what you need to know about the FISA Amendments Act:

1. The law retroactively legalizes a massive electronic operation to spy on the personal communications of millions of Americans - within the United States
2. The law allows physical searches of Americans' homes and places of work without a search warrant or any other proof that anyone being spied upon is suspected of any crime at all
3. The law allows the same kind of unaccountable spying online and by telephone
4. Under the FISA Amendments Act, the only person with the ability to stop the spying is the same person who actually orders the spying to take place: The Attorney General of the United States.

That's just the basics, of course. To learn more, look below:
