U.S. court will not halt NSA phone spy program before ban switchover to privatized bulk data collection | 29 Oct 2015 | A U.S. appeals court on Thursday refused to immediately halt the government's bulk collection of millions of Americans' phone records during a “transition” period to a new federal scheme that bans the controversial anti-terrorism surveillance. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York said it would not disturb Congress' decision to provide a 180-day period for an “orderly transition” to a new, targeted surveillance system from the sweeping National Security Agency program that the court found illegal on May 7…The law reined in the government's data collection authority and requires phone companies, not the NSA, to hold bulk phone records.
