The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 Amendments Act of 2008 (FISA Amendments Act or FAA) is a significant piece of legislation in the United States that expanded the government's surveillance powers, particularly concerning the collection of foreign intelligence. It was enacted in response to the changing landscape of national security after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the needs of intelligence agencies to intercept communications related to national security threats.
