I spent 33 years with the Agency, almost all of it on the tip of the spear, 22 years overseas. In my job I would’ve seen intercepts between US persons. I never saw ONE. We were continually reminded of our responsibilities under the 4th Amendment; a violation could result in dismissal or prosecution. If it went on, it was pretty well hidden.

Thank you for your service. I'm glad during your time at the Agency, in your section at least, things were done correctly with regard to the Constitution, and the focus was rightly on foreign intelligence.

Unfortunately, between Snowden's revelations, and with the decay of the Zeitgeist into what I call "the Era of Bad Stewards", I'm not so confident that all those now in the NSA are serving as honorably as you did in your 33 years.
