Fisa : Section 702

Article  

Passed in 2008, Section 702 retroactively gave cover of law to a post-9/11 effort permitting the NSA to collect phone, email, internet and other communications content when one party to the communication is reasonably believed to be a non-American outside the United States. The NSA stores Prism data for five years and communications taken directly from the internet for two years.

 



Apparently it is perfectly legal , in america , to spy on non-americans. Just because they're non americans. Not because you suspect they're terrorists or anything , but simply because hey , they're not americans , go for it.



I'm going to store this little tibit here where I can find it any time I need.
