3 Shocking Revelations from NSA's Most Terrifying Program Yet

106. You don't know?

"you expect"? Come on, you are the first one to call bull on what you think is speculation and here you go.
There has been no evidence that warrants are asked for when one person in a conversation is American. In fact it appears that they follow your lead and just say "hey, we can't unread it or unhear it." Tuck it away for future use, no harm no foul. The problem is though that it undermines our system, our democracy.
You don't think my rights are undermined? why is that and how do we know as everything is so secret?

"If your cousin, to use your example, is a foreign suspect, how would the NSA know ahead of time that you are American unless they first find that out?"
A couple of problems here, it isn't about foreign suspects, it is about foreign communications. All foreign communication metadata is collected, not "suspects"
Secondly as soon as they find out the other person is American, why would they continue to record or collect? Stop and get a warrant. How hard is that. No evidence that is happening at all, plenty of evidence to the contrary.
