FISA Court Approved Record Number Of Secret Searches in 2006
Newly released data from the Justice Department shows the government conducted a record number of secret searches last year. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court issued two thousand one hundred and seventy six secret warrants in 2006 targeting people inside the United States. The FISA court approved all but one search warrant requested by the Bush administration. The Justice Department however did not reveal how many times the FBI secretly sought telephone, Internet and banking records about U.S. citizens and residents without court approval.
