Wanna lay any bets that it will be extended? With news reports about potential terrorists being arrested recently, it's a foregone conclusion......

Sadly in a report seems a lot of Muslims are now just walking across the border -- and no way to tell if any are ISIS types.

House Votes To Reform NSA Surveillance With USA Freedom Act

On June 1st, the NSA's authority to obtain phone metadata, granted by Section 215 of the Patriot Act, will expire. Rather than granting a full renewal of that authority, the Freedom Act keeps that metadata in the hands of telecoms, who can search for the information after receiving a court order that specifies information like a person or account. The bill also takes transparency measures, giving telecoms more options to publicly report on national security requests.

The bill is meant to bridge the divide between Democrats hoping to fully end the NSA's power and Republicans hoping for a full renewal under the Patriot Act's Section 215. (President Barack Obama has also thrown his support behind the bill.) But the Freedom Act has still proven controversial: last year, a version of the bill was passed in the House, but eventually voted down in the Senate.
