ACLU Suing NSA Over Internet Tracking

(1:04) Guest: Patrick Toomey, ACLU Staff Attorney  Internet Surveillance and the NSA are Top of Mind Today. Thanks to the classified documents leaked by Edward Snowden we know that the National Security Agency is watching our online movements. You and I may not be targets of the surveillance, but that doesn’t mean our emails and searches and internet posts aren’t being scooped into the net that NSA officials mine for leads on terrorism or espionage.  The net is simply too broad, according to a new lawsuit filed against the NSA by the ACLU, on behalf of a diverse of educational, media, human rights and legal organizations.  “An email may travel outside the country before it arrives to a friend inside the United States,” says Toomey.  “What the NSA has not shown is it cannot do its job effectively and appropriately,” says Toomey.
