A Gap in Surveillance, but Ways Around It By CHARLIE SAVAGE MAY 31, 2015 WASHINGTON — For the first time since the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Americans are again free to place phone calls — to friends, lovers, business associates, political groups, doctors and pizza restaurants — without having logs of those contacts vacuumed up in bulk by the National Security Agency.
And for the first time in nearly 14 years, if government agents identify new phone numbers that they suspect are linked to terrorism, they will have to subpoena phone companies for associated calling records and wait for the response to see if anyone in the United States has been in contact with that number. The N.S.A. can no longer simply query its database for the information. < - > http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/01/us/a-gap-in-surveillance-but-ways-around-it.html -- It's better to burn out than fade away. _______________________________________________ Infowarrior mailing list [email protected] https://attrition.org/mailman/listinfo/infowarrior
