searches at the time
The Ames story is of a physical search for security reasons and at the time (one search in summer 93, and another in the fall 93)physical searches were not covered by FISA.
Clinton saw this loophole and supported an amendment to FISA that would close the loophole. That was passed and Clinton signed the amendment in 94.
The search was in 93, the bill was passed in 94. :-)
