FISA makes a bright line rule to separate external intelligence from internal intelligence. Collection of information from sources external to US borders and excluding US citizens is unrestricted. Information regarding sources internal to US borders is limited to "pen register" digests: numbers, e-mail headers, etc. To go further requires a warrant or spending 5 years in prison PER INSTANCE.
