Original Note:
Claiming Section 702 spies on "hundreds of thousands" is misleading. Most FBI searches under 702 are for legit reasons like intelligence or criminal evidence. The few that miss standards are exceptions. Misrepresenting this as the norm is fearmongering, not accurate reporting. https://cdt.org/insights/requiring-a-warrant-for-u-s-person-queries-is-critical-for-fisa-702-legislation/
