The National Security Institute brought together leading experts to weigh in on the balance between national security interest and privacy concerns implicated with the reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Section 702. FISA Section 702, which is set to expire at the end of 2017, authorizes the U.S. Intelligence Community to target non-U.S. persons reasonably believed to be located outside the U.S. in order to collect foreign intelligence.
