I know it's too early to say I've been "vindicated"

86. This is the worst though

its basically an open door though even if they have to get a warrant everything is still an open door for NSA I'm sure they can go into and back out but we're talking about humans here. Why with the 51% confident for foreignness? Like what kind of guidelines when they aren't looking at sex pics before doing the mining? The NSA can dig to see if you're an American in-case they aren't sure but if they find something like "evidence of a crime" they can keep it.

"In the absence of specific information regarding whether a target is a United States person," it states "a person reasonably believed to be located outside the United States or whose location is not known will be presumed to be a non-United States person unless such person can be positively identified as a United States person."

If it later appears that a target is in fact located in the US, analysts are permitted to look at the content of messages, or listen to phone calls, to establish if this is indeed the case.

Referring to steps taken to prevent intentional collection of telephone content of those inside the US, the document states: "NSA analysts may analyze content for indications that a foreign target has entered or intends to enter the United States. Such content analysis will be conducted according to analytic and intelligence requirements and priorities."

Not sure what goes on with e-mail warrant as if there is a pertinent, non-pertinent kind of thing of if warrants specify targets or allow the whole view depending on the reason for the warrant but if you happen to say the wrong early into a phone call to someone who has a wiretap that can be used on either party but generally it has to be related to what the police are investigating. Not sure the kind warrants they allow there but that is why the EFF is there to guide them through the process.
