a state judge would complain to the fbi about police abuses. but the broader concern is that without checks and balances, there is nothing preventing a rapid increase of abuses after reauthorization. supporters of this bill will say that it codifies the fbi's internal changes. but what i would say is without real checks and balances that are written into the law, what good are these changes? reformers have put forward extremely modest common senns solutions -- commonsense solutions. warrants would not be required for all u.s. searches. proposals would allow the government to see whether a american was communicating with foreign agents. a warrant is required only when the government wants to read the content of these communications, a situation that arises less than 2% of the time. our provision also allows for emergency searches and has exceptions for imminent threats of death or injury, preexisting law enforcement or fisa warrants, consent, and access to malware and cyberattacks. this modest reform should be debated on and voted on in the sena

based on recent fbi statistics, that would amendment to just 80 times a month that the fbi or other agencies engaged in this 702 surveillance would have to ask for a court order to protect inquiries and investigations into private communications of american citizens. i have sat through various numerous classified briefings on section 702 and listened carefully to the government's concerns about having to obtain this court approval in order to review the contents of american communications. my bipartisan amendment accounts for these concerns by providing exceptions to the warrant requirement for emergencies or cybersecurity attacks, or where an american certainly consents to the search. this will ensure there will be no delays that jeopardize national security. what it will not allow are fishing expeditions in which there are no unusual circumstances and the government does not have probable cause. this pragmatic approach respecting the constitution will safeguard american privacy and still preserve section 702's critical value for collecting foreign intelligence and protecting national secur
