Wiretapping, FISA, and the NSA

U.S. wiretapping laws, FISA and Presidential powers given to the NSA to intercept communications make for interesting times when coupled with technology. What are the issues surrounding privacy, search, seizure and surveillance?

FISA orders are directed at interceptions of "U.S. Persons" meaning U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens, or U.S. corporations. Thus, if a U.S. person is the target of the surveillance, FISA by its terms, applies. If the U.S. person is NOT the target, but is otherwise intercepted, the surveillance is okay as long as there are appropriate minimizations procedures in place.
