“"Section 702 cannot be used to target Americans anywhere in the world or any person inside the United States regardless of nationality. No exceptions," Nakasone said.”
General Paul Nakasone calls Section 702 “irreplaceable” and wants it renewed before it lapses on December 31. Documents declassified in 2019 showed it was frequently used against US persons. The FBI searched the 702 database for Americans swept up in the collection. When Congress asked for numbers in 2017, the NSA refused to give any. “No exceptions” is a sales pitch from an agency that won’t count.
