NSA Begins Dismantling Phone Data Collection Program [For Now] | 23 May 2015 | The National Security Agency has begun “winding down” the once top-secret bulk collection of Americans' phone records after Congress failed to renew or change the program before a holiday recess, a senior administration official told ABC News. “We've said for the past several days that the wind-down process would need to begin yesterday if there was no legislative agreement. That process has begun,” the official said. The government has relied on Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which expires at midnight on May 31, to authorize collection of telephone metadata for all U.S. calls.
