WASHINGTON - The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) frequently abused a restricted database of Americans’ personal communications
......
The FBI accessed the database 278,000 times in recent years, often with no justification
......
The database includes private e-mails, text messages and other communications
......
Although the FBI is supposed to tap the NSA database only when investigating a foreign intelligence issue, the court opinions showed that the agency used it casually for domestic cases.
......
“The government has dramatically expanded its spying under Section 702 in ways never contemplated by Congress, but it’s refusing to tell Americans what it’s doing,” said Mr Patrick Toomey of the Americans Civil Liberties Union.
