The National Security Agency (NSA) didn’t follow some of its own required procedures meant to protect the privacy of U.S. citizens, a new report by the NSA’s Inspector General revealed Monday.

In its semi-annual report to Congress, the Office of the Inspector General for the NSA found failures in the agency’s procedures under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence and Surveillance



ction 702 of FISA describes how U.S. intelligence agencies may conduct warrantless surveillance of the communications of suspicious non-citizens on foreign soil. The section also describes how intelligence officials may access the sensitive information and communications of U.S. persons (USPs), if there is probable cause they are working for or in contact with suspicious non-citizens.
