The National Security Agency has acknowledged in a new classified briefing that it does not need court authorization to listen to domestic phone calls, a participant in the briefing said.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, disclosed on Thursday that during a secret briefing to members of Congress, he was told that the contents of a phone call could be accessed «simply based on an analyst deciding that.»
If the NSA wants «to listen to the phone,» an analyst's decision is sufficient, without any other legal authorization required.
the same legal standards that apply to phone calls also apply to e-mail messages, text messages, and instant messages
