Champion, J. Christopher
- Abstract
The article reports that the investigations of the 9/11 terrorist attacks highlighted a series of lapses in intelligence-sharing within the federal government regarding terrorist operations. One area minutely examined by Congress, and the judiciary is the appropriate scope of intelligence collection within the United States concerning foreign threats to the nation's security. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) governs the conduct of electronic surveillance and physical searches carried out for foreign intelligence purposes within the United States.
