Bipartisan Calls Grow for Reform of Controversial Section 702 Surveillance Program

Government privacy board split on recommending strict limits on expiring Section 702 law allowing warrantless surveillance of foreigners' communications.
Majority of board urges court approval for searches of Americans' communications collected under the program.
Minority opposes court approval requirement, warns of harm to national security investigations.
Revelations of FBI misuse fuel bipartisan opposition in Congress to straight reauthorization of Section 702.
With Section 702 set to expire in December, debate continues over balancing privacy rights and national security.
