And the legal basis for this was something called Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which FISA, that act had been passed in the 70s, been updated, amended over time. The authorities that NSA was operating under, FBI was operating under, were, I believe, part of the 07-08 FISA Act.

There is a massive question when you raise this issue of Snowden even understanding what in the world was on these slides. So there's an annual training inside NSA on Section 702 and FISA and how those queries could happen and the sort of legality and framework for understanding really PRISM. And Snowden had failed his annual training on Section 702, right?

I think, again, in this case, he is, I mean, and there's no doubt that this is an important
