World Cup, America 250 face new risk with spy law lapse

With the impending expiration of Section 702, a key provision of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that allows for international surveillance, national security experts are expressing serious concerns. This lapse could create a significant gap in intelligence-gathering capabilities, especially with major global events like the World Cup on the horizon. The potential lapse is seen as a serious risk to national security, as it may leave the U.S. unprepared to counter foreign threats during these high-profile times. The urgency to renew this surveillance tool highlights the ongoing challenges in balancing national security needs with privacy rights.
