National Security Agency is keeping to Collect Phone Records, US Spy Court

U.S spy court has lined once more that the NSA can keep the phone records of the every American on the everyday fundamental.

Shawn Turner (spokesman of the Director of National Intelligence) said that The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on Friday renewed the NSA Phone collection program.

The Latest approval was the first since two incompatible court judgments about whether program is lawful and since a presidential advisory panel recommended that the NSA no longer be allowed to collect and store the phone records and search them without obtaining separate court approval for each search.

According to the Tuner that, 15 judges on the U.S Foreign intelligence Surveillance Court on 36 occasions over the past seven years have approved the NSA’s collection of U.S phone record as lawful.

Government Lawyers turned to U.S Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to block one federal judge’s decision that threatens the NSA phone records program. The Opposing lawyer who spearheaded the effort that led to the ruling said he hopes to take the issue directly to the Supreme Court.

According to the Turner, U.S. intelligence agencies would be willing to modify the phone records surveillance program to provide additional privacy and civil liberties protections as long as it was still operationally beneficial. He said the Obama administration was carefully evaluating the advisory panel’s recent recommendations.
