President Joe Biden speaks before signing an executive order to improve government services, in the Oval Office of the White House, Dec. 13, 2021, in Washington. The intelligence community won a new expansion of snooping powers from Congress but opponents managed to cut the extension to just two years, meaning Capitol Hill will revisit the fight a lot sooner than the spy community had wanted. President Biden signed the expansion into law Saturday, capping off an intense six-month fight over Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which allows the government to scoop up communications of foreign targets and then search through them — including communications with Americans and others inside the U.S. — without getting a warrant.(AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File)
