Original FISA law allowed for retroactive approval of surveillance and in fact only a handful of requests have been denied since its enactment. If the argument to be made is that current regulations hamstring the gov's ability to carry out investigations (for example by not being able to approve requests in a timely manner and the time limit for retroactive approval running out), this time limit could be extended.
The only reason to get rid of oversight is if you are planning on gathering intellignce that wouldn't be approved.
Geez, I think we give up even security on this one - what's to say that the government won't use this against you in some unforeseen way?
ohhhh, the irony.
