There are no secret national security Agency (NSA) began to encroach on our privacy by creating surveillance programs like PRISM and xkeyscore. According to the new documents given to Intercept NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, it appears that the NSA does not believe they went far enough. These newly released classified documents revealed that the NSA has created their own search engine similar to Google called Intelligence Community REACH or ICREACH. This engine was designed to find and share over 850 billion records of information including: phone calls, emails, locations of mobile phones and Internet chats. This information is freely available to nearly two dozen US government agencies.
These documents provide the first conclusive evidence that the NSA has huge amounts of surveillance data readily available to the national bodies of law enforcement for years. Documents relating to ICREACH specifically mention the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as key participants involved in the program. At that time, ICREACH not seem to have a direct relationship with the large database NSA 215, previously reported by The Guardian, which stores information about millions of phone calls of ordinary Americans under Article 215 of the Patriot Act. Unlike ICREACH, the database 215 is accessed by some NSA analysts and may be consulted during the terrorism investigations.
