NSA program reportedly allows analysts to track emails, chats, web searches

The National Security Agency is operating a massive database system that allows analysts to scour individuals' emails, chats and Internet browsing histories at will, according to a new report from The Guardian based on leaked documents. The article was quickly challenged by the NSA. In a statement forwarded to Fox News, the agency said "allegations of widespread, unchecked analyst access to NSA collection data are simply not true." The agency acknowledged the existence of the program -- called XKeyscore -- but said access is limited and suggested it was mainly aimed at foreign intelligence targets. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/08/01/nsa-program-reportedly-allows-analysts-to-track-emails-chats-web-searches/
