It's true that the leaked NSA "blackrooms" installed at the telcos have had the details leaked and reported, but this seems different as it looks like specific requests for domestic user information as opposed to wide-net scraping for later targeting, and at least seem like it could involve targeting domestic-to-domestic communications as opposed to just domestic-foreign. Also this is NSA warrantless

Maybe I'm not up to speed on all the reporting on the subject of the myriad ways they are eavesdropping, but this seems new to me, and it is certainly news to me, though it's nothing I didn't assume already.
