"Amok" is pretty strong language, but it is a concern. The NSA has capabilities that the average joe can't even begin to understand. I have done work for them and the amount of electronic data that the system gathers on any given day is terabytes. A lot of it never even gets listened to unless it has keywords that the computers flag. Who gets it and what do they do with it is another story all on it's own. Remember Hillary and the FBI files?

I heard the President say that the interceptions made were not made in this country. Can we hold anyone liable for breaking our law in another country?Is there any jurisdiction? I also have a question concerning the difference between normal lawbreakers and enemy agents. Lawbreakers IN our country are afforded civil rights while enemy agents are not protected by our Constitution but rather by the rules of war set forth in the Geneva Convention , Right?
