Not at all. Remember what FISA stands for: Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. This law was originally written to allow spying on Foreign citizens. They stoked enough fear to get Congress to amend and expand the law to allow targeting of U.S. citizens, implying we were all in danger of we didn't allow it and promising to use that power responsibly.
Now the FBI Deputy Director says: "I urge everyone to continue to look for ways to appropriately use US person queries to advance the mission" - that is, literally think about ways to use this power to spy on U.S. citizens. This absolutely is and should be big news.
