Michael Hayden, former director of the NSA, denies on video that the 4th Amendment mentions "probable cause". A little review, the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Hayden also confirmed the XKEYSCORE program.
The Atlantic asks why the NSA didn't have a plan in place for when news of these programs leaked, especially in light of the pushback from other countries we're seeing.
