FBI searches for Americans’ information that is collected using a high-profile surveillance tool have “dramatically decreased” since summer 2021, when the bureau overhauled its system after a judge accused it of widespread violations.

The program has drawn controversy because analysts at intelligence agencies and the FBI can search the repository of intercepted messages using identifiers of Americans — like names, phone numbers and email addresses — even though that information was collected without a warrant. In a speech urging the reauthorization of Section 702 at the Brookings Institution on Tuesday, Matthew Olsen, the chief of the department’s national security division, also said there had been “a dramatic decrease” in the total number of FBI queries about Americans and a “significant reduction” in the number of inadvertent queries since the 2021 changes.
But he also allowed the program to continue operating because the FBI said it would change its systems and training to reduce the problems, while noting that “ongoing monitoring and auditing will be critical to evaluating whether the current measures are adequate.”
