NSA to Lose Access to Section 215 Data

[silicon_toad2000]

According to an announcement from the Office of the Director of National
Intelligence, the National Security Agency (NSA) will start to purge
data collected under its Section 215 surveillance program that expires
later this year. NSA analysts will no longer be permitted to search the
database after November 29, 2015. Technicians will be able to access the
database for three additional months for the purpose of comparing what
they had collected before to what is permitted under the new system.
