“By a vote of 293 to 123, a bipartisan coalition in the House voted to ban the National Security Agency from conducting ‘backdoor searches’ on United States citizens, a process that allowed the intelligence community to collect data on Americans without a warrant as long as the official target was a foreigner. The amendment ‘specifically prohibits the NSA from using information identifying U.S. citizens to search communications data it collects under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.’ Additionally, the House voted to ban the NSA from installing backdoor search capability into the hardware and software of other companies.”
