Dear Libtech, We've waited a long time for this kind of FISA court document to leak - we see clearly evidence that there is still dragnet surveillance that is ongoing - the current order leaked is still valid as of today, it will continue to be valid until the middle of July.
This specifically includes Americans without any international or even inter-city connections! To quote: "wholly within the United States, including local telephone calls" It specifically says a lot more: TOP SECRET//SI//NOFORN Declassify on: 12 April 2038 ... IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, the Custodian of Records shall produce to the National Security Agency (NSA) upon service of this Order, and continue production on an ongoing daily basis thereafter for the duration of this Order, unless otherwise ordered by the Court, an electronic copy of the following tangible things: all call detail records or "telephony metadata" created by Verizon for communications (i) between the United States and abroad; or (ii) wholly within the United States, including local telephone calls. This Order does not require Verizon to produce telephony metadata for communications wholly originating and terminating in foreign countries. Telephony metadata includes comprehensive communications routing information,. including but not limited to session identifying information (e.g., originating and terminating telephone number, International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) number, International Mobile station Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, etc.), trunk identifier, telephone calling card numbers, and time and duration of call. Telephony metadata does not include the substantive content of any communication, as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 2510(8), or the name, address, or financial information of a subscriber or customer. The leaked order is here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.documentcloud.org/documents/709012/verizon.pdf The writeup by Glenn Greenwald is worth reading as he broke the story: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/06/nsa-phone-records-verizon-court-order This pretty much settles the dragnet surveillance debate - the FBI, the NSA, the FISA courts are aware of it - all the way to the top. Thus it is likely the DoJ are all in on it. This is madness and it is exactly proof of what we have been saying for years. This time it is undeniable as it is signed by a FISA judge and it is *currently* happening. I look forward to the FISA order for full content or the FISA for targeted based on patterns to leak next!
