"If Zimmerman get off, Ima go out & kill a white boy" WTH??

Actually, it says "US persons", because it includes more than just citizens. But it isn't technically a law unless it's changed in the last several years. It is legally binding though. However, it isn't prohibited in all circumstances, and much of what they've been doing isn't really surveillance in the sense that they didn't monitor actual conversations. I flew intelligence and surveillance missions in the Air Force and I was subject to those restrictions. The exceptions were incredibly stringent and the oversight extremely heavy when exceptions were granted. The issue here is whether or not the current administration abused the modified restrictions put in place after 9/11. It doesn't look good.
From what I remember of it, they were not allowed to do it in the US. Overseas was a different story. FISA rules were a little different.
(B) there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party; and
Another law said that only one party had to be outside the US. All those restrictions were null and void if one party was a member of al-Qaeda or a supporter or suspected member of al-Qaeda.
