It's section 216, not 215, and the issue is that the powers granted by judges are granting ex parte search and seizure powers, ignoring the previous standard of just cause.
Also, Provision 213 provides for "surreptitious search warrants and seizures upon a showing of reasonable necessity and eliminates the requirement of Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure that immediate notification of seized items be provided." Under FISA, that procedure can completely skip the judiciary, and obtain search warrants without a judge's supervision - and those FISA search warrants are not public record, nor do those being searched have to be informed.
Also, section 805 was struck down for violating the first and fifth; later, section 505 was struck down for violating the first and fourth.
