We've been misled by Obama who has said that that no one is listening.
What he did not say is that it is not completely collected and completely available for searching should someone think it's important.
I continue to think this is what brought down David Petraeus and what continues to keep him quiet.
Other articles reveal that Senator Wyden was clearly told that the collection INCLUDED the actual conversations and emails...in other words...CONTENT.

A class action suit under Bivens would be some rockin’ great fun!
Clapper?
Clap on *clap* *clap*
Clap off *clap* *clap*
Clap on clap off....The Clapper!
"Ooopsie", said the NSA as the envelope just happened to fall open after it had accidentally been held over the steaming kettle.
Generally, a warrant, which requires probable cause to be issued, is required if there is "a reasonable expectation of privacy" (REP). But if no REP, then probable cause without a warrant may be sufficient to search. So REP or at the least, probable cause, needs to be shown.
If these were private conversations between two people in private places and emails not viewable by others, then it seems you could prove REP. If no REP, then where's the probable cause to search?
this is in the reasons why i would not cry a second if nsa ceased to exist.
Oh, puh-leez - Obama doesn’t give a rat’s *ss about the constitution, why should the NSA?
We know Clapper routinely lies so if this is his “least untruthful” version imagine how bad it must really be.
Laws ? irrelevant.
warrants ? who needs ‘em?
Constitutional rights? what are they?
Now, now, this is all just conspiracy nutter nonsense. /sarc
