Perhaps you meant some of the existing restrictions. The FBI may have requested that because of their Russian interference investigation. Obama it seems did the right thing to OK it. I would have done the same. It's explained in the Times article . It is emerging by inference that the NSA, though they collect virtually all communications they can, is restricted as to which communications can be looked at, decoded or whatever without a specific court order. Apparently, after lifting the restrictions , you and I and the Donald have some protections from NSA snooping that foreign communicants don't. I suppose the intelligence agencies would have to go to court if they wanted to look at my call to Trump telling him to go fuck himself, for example. But if vladimir, or any one calling from outside the U.S. calls me for a luncheon date they can peek without a separate order, I guess. That is what lifting those particular restrictions seem to be about. So if I call Trump, or Trump calls Melanomia, no peeking, but if Vlad is under an investigation by the FBI and Vlad calls Trump, apparently they can peek. I'm OK with that, I think, maybe, not sure.
