Seven judges on a secret court have authorized all but one
of over 7,500 requests to spy in the name of National Security.
They meet in secret, with no published orders, opinions, or public record.
Those spied on May never know of the intrusion.
Now, Clinton has expanded the powers to include not only electronic, but physical searches.

......When Clinton signed Executive Order 12949 on February 9, the frightening mandate of the FISA, court was greatly expanded:
It now has legal authority to approve black-bag operations to authorize Department of Justice (DoJ) requests
to conduct physical as well as electronic searches,
without obtaining a warrant in open court, without notifying the subject,
without providing an inventory of items seized....

Granting new powers to the FISA court was accomplished quietly and treated as a non-event in the national media.
The lack of reporting was somehow fitting, though, following as it did the silent debate last year when Congress rubberstamped
the annual Intelligence Authorization Act...

Fisa was created in 1978.
