Does the NSA have any secrets left? First there was PRISM
Where PRISM
Although it's no surprise that the NSA has something like this, the organization has come out and said on multiple occasions that it isn't spying domestically
As you can see in the image above, countries are ranked by color. Green countries are the ones where the NSA has the least data. Yellow means there's more data, orange even more, and red the most. This data doesn't include anything so specific as the content of particular emails or phone calls, but it does get pretty granular, including specific IP addresses. And that's usually enough to drill down to someone's approximate location.
The documents obtained by The Guardian describe the system this way:
The tool allows users to select a country on a map and view the metadata volume and select details about the collections against that country
Other documents say it is designed to answer questions such as "What type of coverage do we have on country X" in "near real-time by asking the SIGINT [signals intelligence] infrastructure."
It's yet another cat out of the NSA's apparently large bag. Only time will tell what else is in there just waiting to get out. [The Guardian]
