The New York Times reports the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court overlooked privacy concerns and reauthorized the Federal Bureau of Investigation's warrantless surveillance program. FISA Court Judge James Boasberg acknowledged current and past complaints with the program but ultimately decided the court "lacks sufficient information at this time to assess the adequacy of the (FBI) system changes and training, post-implementation." Meanwhile, state lawmakers in Maine are considering legislation that would bring transparency to police surveillance tools.
