This is a good thing - war on terror here we come
No, boy, it is _not_ a good thing. The governments and its institutions and agencies are the real terror and they will use 'a greater good' -- terrorism, paedophilia, spying, whatever -- as excuse to disrespect people's privacy and violate civil rights, creating new laws for justify their vile actions, if necessary. Or simply ignoring the already existent legislation and all the international agreements.
I don't think the FBI will gain expanded powers of surveillance; rather, they will gain the ability to use information they already routinely gather by illegal means openly, in Court filings. Where previously they had to work around the law by using illegal methods to locate information that is admissible in Court ("parallel construction"), they will be able to take a much more direct approach.

Yes, that's reality. FBI leeches data and skills from NSA. And NSA does whatever it wants to. US is always at war. And there are no laws in war.
