NSA Tracks 5 Billion Cell Phone Records Daily


The Washington Post says the National Security Agency is gathering 5 billion records daily on the whereabouts of cellphones around the world. Those records go into a database that stores information on hundreds of millions of cellphones. The NSA doesn’t seek out data on Americans’ cellphones, but it ends up acquiring that information “incidentally.” The NSA uses the information to locate unknown associates of known targets.
