But the evidence they gather is used in criminal cases, is sealed, and is not available to the defendent. This expansion also included the power for evidence gathered in FISA surveillance and searches to be used in criminal proceedings. However, all information regarding the order and any evidence obtained under the order are permanently sealed and classified “top secret.” The effect of this provision has been that US citizens are being charged with crimes in federal court and not allowed to review the evidence against them, nor are their attorneys permitted to see the warrants that authorized the search. http://www.snapshield.com/www_problems/United_States/Inside%20America's%20Secret%20Court%20-%20Patrick%20S_%20Poole.htm
