Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 2008 amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, particularly through the FISA Amendments Act (FAA), expanded the U.S. government's authority to conduct surveillance of foreign individuals outside the United States without obtaining a specific warrant for each target. This includes the ability to monitor communications of foreign suspects. Edward Snowden's revelations primarily highlighted the extent of surveillance practices, including those authorized by the FAA, but did not specifically pertain to the types of surveillance allowed under the 2008 amendments.
