Court Rules Against FBI Over Some Surveillance Activities

The transcript discusses the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court's ruling on the FBI's misuse of data collection under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The court found that FBI officials improperly searched for information on Americans, which is a rare setback for government surveillance programs that expanded post-9/11. Section 702 allows the FBI to access a database primarily used by the NSA, but only for foreign intelligence or crime evidence. The ruling highlights privacy concerns and the balance between security and individual rights.
