SIRENS, PHONES SOUND ERRONEOUS ALERT IN CALIFORNIA



People in San Luis Obispo County received aseries of unse ling, erroneous emergencyalerts Friday as repairs were being made to anuclear power plant’s siren system, includinga vague cellphone message that told them to“prepare for ac on.”

The chain of mistaken alerts began arousingconfusion and fear when a siren that’s part ofthe Diablo Canyon Power Plant’s warning systembegan wailing Friday a ernoon for no apparentreason, county emergency services managerRon Alsop said.

Earlier in the day, crews had upgraded the sirenas part of Paci c Gas & Electric Co.’s summer-long

revamp of the emergency system.

To indicate there was no emergency, countyo cials issued an alert.

“Unbeknownst to us, with a new emergency alertsystem, it also triggered the new wireless alertcellphone system,” Alsop said.

Across the county, people’s cellphones buzzedwith a special tone and a message that said therewas a “civil emergency in this area” and peopleshould “prepare for ac on.”

The warning halted wine tas ng at the SaucelitoCanyon Vineyard & Winery in San Luis Obispo,manager Katherine Taylor said.

“I had 15 people here, looking at their phones

and asking what to do,” she said.



Nisse Noble, 27, was at her online apparelcompany’s o ce when she received the message.The vague warning was “unse ling,” leading herto think there was a mass shoo ng, a nuclearaccident or a criminal at large in the area, she said.

“We didn’t know where we should turn orwhat we should prepare for,” Noble said.

When county o cials realized the ga e, theyissued a nal message sta ng that there was nocause for alarm.

“We’re just glad we learned this before we had anactual emergency,” Alsop said.

The 131 sirens across the county are used not

only for an emergency at the nuclear plant,but also for other emergencies such as anevacua on due to a tsunami or dam failure,PG&E said. The u lity said it was inves ga ngwhat caused the siren to sound.

NYC PROSECUTORS GOT DATA ON 381 USERS



Prosecutors building a sweeping disabili es-bene t fraud case got a trove of data from theFacebook accounts of more than 380 people, thesocial media giant said this week as it disclosed anearly yearlong legal ght over the largest set ofsearch warrants it has ever received.

Facebook ul mately turned over theinforma on but is appealing the court orderthat required it to do so, saying prosecutorsintruded on users’ privacy. The Manha andistrict a orney’s o ce and a judge have saidthe search warrants were jus ed.

The dispute adds to a roster of clashes betweenauthori es and Internet companies over law

enforcement e orts to scru nize people’s onlinelives for poten al evidence.

“It’s part of a trend toward more aggressivechallenges by Internet providers on behalf of theircustomers,” said Orin Kerr, a George WashingtonUniversity law professor who specializes in issuessurrounding computers and crime.

It began secretly last July, when Manha anCriminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson approved381 search warrants for various Facebook users’pos ngs, friend lists, photos, private messagesand other data, according to court lingsunsealed Wednesday and rst reported by TheNew York Times. The users ranged from highschool students to grandparents, Facebook said ina ling last week.

Sixty-two of those users are among the 134people charged in the case, Deputy GeneralCounsel Chris Sonderby wrote in a blog postThursday. It’s unclear whether other users willbe charged.

The warrants aimed to gather evidence againstpolice and re re rees allegedly coached toclaim they were too psychologically devastatedto work even as they golfed, rode motorcyclesand otherwise led robust lives - and some mes

posted the alleged proof on Facebook. More



than half of the 134 defendants so far havepleaded guilty. Prosecutors say up to 1,000people may have been involved and morecharges could come.

Menlo Park, California-based Facebook

argued the warrants cast a net as wide as“the digital equivalent of seizing everything insomeone’s home.”

“Except here, it is not a single home but anen re neighborhood of nearly 400 homes,” thecompany wrote in last week’s ling.

But prosecutors say they gave the judge a 93-page explana on of why each targeted accountwould likely yield evidence.

“The defendants in this case repeatedly lied tothe government about their mental, physical, andsocial capabili es. Their Facebook accounts tolda di erent story,” DA’s o ce spokeswoman JoanVollero said in a statement Friday.

Jackson rebu ed Facebook’s objec ons in anow-unsealed September ruling, saying lawenforcement has “the authority to search and

seize a massive amount of material to seekevidence,” even if some of the items turn outto be irrelevant.

An appeals court declined in November to holdo Jackson’s order while Facebook’s appeal playsout. Facebook then surrendered the informa on.

Over the years, online companies havesome mes prevailed in pushing back onauthori es’ demands for informa on about theirusers. They also have lost some ghts; Twi er,for instance, objected but ul mately accededto Manha an prosecutors’ demands for threemonths of tweets by an Occupy Wall Streetprotester in a disorderly conduct case. Twi erhad been threatened with steep nes; thecompany later lost an appeal of the court orderthat had required turning over material.

THE VALUE OF AN INTERNAL

EDUCATION INITIATIVE

The late Steve Jobs, as anyone who has everbeen in the employ of Apple in recent yearswill tell you, was a mis t. Such is the very

nature of genius - you can't teach it. That's thecommonly received idea, anyway. In truth,even Jobs had certain tangible values bywhich he took Apple by the scru of his neckto previously unbeknown success, during bothof his spells with the company.

With that in mind, could something of hisgenius - even just a semblance - be put in abo le, for the bene t of future genera ons

of Apple leaders? It may not be an easy taskto create a new Steve Jobs or seven, but thatdoesn't mean that you shouldn't try - or atleast, that seems to have been the thinkingprocess behind a rela vely li le-knowninternal educa on ini a ve at the Cuper nocompany he made so great .

That ini a ve is known simply as AppleUniversity, and was started in 2008 at

the request of Jobs himself, the then CEObecoming more than aware of his mortality as

1

http://www.bestcollegereviews.org/apple-university/










his long-term illness wore on. It's an a emptto perpetuate the ways of thinking thatembedded Apple at the top of the technologytree in the years up to 2011 - and that havehelped to keep it up there in the years since.

HOW APPLE HAS FARED SINCE JOBS

Sure, some industry commentators willpoint to certain struggles that Jobs' baby hasexperienced in the s ll less than three yearssince his passing. They might ag up theMaps asco, generalized grumbles amongshareholders, or simply the lack of a 'game-changing' new product with the cachet ofthe iPod, iPhone or iPad. All three con nueto receive incremental updates under theauspices of Jobs' successor as CEO, Tim Cook,but we're yet to see the long talked-aboutiWatch break cover.

However, don't be fooled into thinking thatthe Californian tech giant hasn't made verysigni cant strides since Jobs' October 2011death. The company that Jobs le behindwas certainly a advantageous inheritancefor Cook, its brand valua on of $33.5 billionmaking it the world's second most valuablecompany, behind Exxon. That's before youmen on the daun ng $81.6 billion cashreserves that the new occupant of Jobs'seat could call upon back then.

As of February this year, though, there was nolonger any company in the world with as high

a market valua on as Apple, leaving Googleand Exxon Mobil to scrap for second place.Microso was in fourth posi on. Similarly,while Apple's 2010 scal year total grossrevenue of around $65 billion was nothingto be sni ed at, with the following scal yearyielding $108.25 billion, the company hasonly gone from unimaginable strength tounimaginable strength since then.

1



The all-imporTanT figures

remain impressive

How strong as we talking about? Well, for the2013 scal year ending September 28, 2013,a record $170.9 billion in total gross revenuewas mustered. This was a 9.18 per centimprovement on the previous year's $156.53billion, and a whopping 57.88 per cent and162.9 per cent higher than was managed in2011 and 2010 respec vely.

You can look at pre y much any other keygures of Apple's for the last few years, and

you'll keep seeing a rosy picture. By the end ofOctober last year, for example, the Cuper no

rm had more than $146 billion in cash andmarketable securi es. Both iPhones and iPadssold at record levels during the 2013 scalyear, with the sales of 150 million iPhonesbringing the smartphone's total unit sales to421.3 million. Meanwhile, some 169.2 millioniPads have now been sold in total since thetablet's 2010 launch, 71 million of those in thelatest scal year alone.

With gures like these, it's therefore not amassive surprise that in March 2014, Applewas declared the most valuable billion dollarbrand in the world by Brand Finance, a valueof about $104.7 billion for 2014 placing itwell ahead of Samsung Group ($78.8 billion),Google ($68.6 billion), Microso ($62.8billion) and Verizon ($53.5 billion).

The seTTing up of appleUNIVERSITY

But back to Apple University for a minute.If such gures were to be achieved, andcon nue to be achieved for many years tocome, it surely follows that something of theJobs philosophy needed, and needs to survivein the company. However, that depends on

rst pinpoin ng what the great man was





actually about. Apple was on the nancialprecipice when he returned in 1997, so itsdrama c transforma on in the ensuing yearswas de nitely no accident.

On crea ng Apple University, Jobs'

inten ons were simple - to create alearning program whereby execu vescould be taught his approach. It was theobvious way to ensure that future Appleexecu ves thought like him. In the wordsof Apple analyst Tim Bajarin, "One of thethings that Steve Jobs understood verywell is that Apple is like no other companyon the planet. It became pre y clearthat Apple needed a set of educa onal



materials so that Apple employees couldlearn to think and make decisions as if theywere Steve Jobs."

The program got underway in earnest withJobs' 2008 hiring of the one- me dean of

Yale University's School of Management,Joel Podolny. Ac ve courses had apparentlybegun by the following year, with Jobshelping to create the curriculum. Variousother academics were subsequently hired byPodolny, and even Tim Cook dropped in forsome lecturing.

Although secrecy surrounds most of thecurriculum content, it is known that onecourse is called 'What Makes Apple Apple',

and that the whole ini a ve was largelyinspired by 'The HP Way' core values asespoused by the founders of that company,Bill Hewle and David Packard.

idenTifying Those viTal

JOBS QUALITIES

Characteris cs widely iden ed as part ofthe Jobs philosophy include an emphasis onquality over quan ty, as seems to be in safehands judging by repeated pronouncementsby Cook, as well as the need to 'Createsomething di erent'. The iPod, iPhone andiPad may not have been the rst released

products in their respec ve categories, butthey are nonetheless seen as having turnedthose categories on their heads.

Jobs was also feted for his ability to createan cipa on through showmanship, helping

to stoke just the right level of excitement anddemand for a new product at just the meit became available to purchase. It is alsothought that Apple University emphasizes theimportance of - where appropriate - involvingeveryone in the company in the product'sdesign and feel.

There is a long list of other elements of theJobs approach that are reported to have

been incorporated into Apple Universityand the Cuper no rm's present corporateculture and working opera ons. Theserange from making everyone responsibleand establishing a culture of suchresponsibility via mul ple weekly mee ngs,to maintaining a simple organiza onalstructure with no commi ees and tendingtowards specialized, focused roles.

The wisdom of a 'CorporaTe

Campus' for oTher Companies

As unique a company as Apple may be,an internal educa on program like AppleUniversity doesn't merely hold lessons forthe Cuper no rm. A er all, it's hardly the

rst company to have such a 'corporatecampus'. The same was true of Jobs' other

major corporate success story, Pixar, wherethere was Pixar University, while there wasalso one in opera on many years earlier atGE (General Electric), and even that great oldApple adversary, IBM, has long embedded alearning culture of its own.

The bene ts of an internal educa onscheme are certainly clear for Apple,where recent years have seen the exit

2





of various top execu ves and engineers,including many to have worked closely withJobs. Employee turnover is becoming anincreasingly pronounced - and expensive- problem for other tech companies, amidpredic ons by the Hay Group that theburgeoning economy will see turnoverreach new heights - as high as 25 per cent -across the world during 2014-18.

With the tech industry seeing engineers o enonly stay at a company for 1-2 years, theneed has clearly arisen to create incen ves

for talented professionals to s ck around at arm like Apple. The right, properly managed

educa onal program can be invaluable in thisregard, only packing all the more power whencombined with the likes of stock, cash prizes,promo ons and internal awards.

Apple University certainly seems to bedelivering the goods for the company thatJobs bequeathed to his successor as CEO, TimCook - and long may that con nue.

Your favorite team is playing for the tle, and youare in the middle of the eld. You have a cket inthe very top row for an NBA playo game, and acourtside seat. The referees are reviewing a bigplay in the nal seconds, and you are right therein front of them.

Google Glass is slowly becoming more commonin sports as teams and broadcasters try tobring fans closer to the ac on. The PhiladelphiaEagles are going to test the Internet-connectedeyewear for in-game use, and a companywith a key applica on for the technology saysit has secured a new round of nancing thatwill help roll out its Glass program to sports,entertainment and other elds.

“When I talk to teams and ask them about whattechnology are they looking at, what technologyare they keeping track of, the two answers Imostly commonly get are Google Glass andSnapchat,” said Eric Fernandez, a founder andmanaging partner of SportsDesk Media, a fananaly cs and digital media ac va on company.

The futuris c eyewear was known as “ProjectGlass” when it was introduced by Google in avideo and blog post in April 2012. The MountainView, California, company started selling the$1,500 glasses to a select crowd later that sameyear, but it only recently became available to thegeneral public.

The use of Glass in sports has progressed fromtrendy athletes dipping their toes in the waterto a tool for teams looking to draw fans toarenas and stadiums, and then keep their focus

on the ac on, instead of their omnipresentsmartphones and tablets. It comes withendless revenue possibili es, ranging fromsponsorship deals for the new content streamsto a possible a endance boost for teams withempty upper decks.

“I think the fan experience one is the onethat’s really hi ng hard,” said Eric Johnsen, thebusiness development lead for Glass at Work,“and the performance line people are dabblingwith, that’s really interes ng.”

Punter Chris Kluwe used the eyewear in trainingcamp last year to take fans inside an OaklandRaiders prac ce. Sea le Seahawks wide receiver

Golden Tate wore the glasses at Super Bowlmedia day. Roger Federer used one whenhe hit with former tennis star Stefan Edbergduring a visit to Google’s campus, and a refereeat the recent USA Sevens Collegiate RugbyChampionship donned the glasses for the NBCSports broadcast.

But it is the big-picture applica ons that o erintriguing possibili es for teams and leagues

concerned about a endance in the 21st century,when at-screen TVs and rising prices at spor ngevents have made the in-home experience evenmore appealing.

The 2014 Know the Fan Report, producedby Spor ng News Media, Kantar Media andSportBusiness Group, found 45 percent of fansuse a second-screen device while watching sports

on TV, a de nite factor in the willingness of teamsand broadcasters to take a closer look at Glass.The report was based on a survey of more than1,000 American adults conducted in February.

“The focus has been through sports at large,

how do you get people using their phones tointeract during the game?” said Rob Laycock,the vice president of marke ng for the IndianaPacers and Fever.

“What’s nice about Glass is that it’s keeping yourfocus on center stage, you know main court, withthe scoreboard right above it.”

The NBA’s Sacramento Kings used a CrowdOp capplica on to become the rst pro sports teamto employ Glass in the arena when they put the

eyewear on their mascot Slamson and othersfor a January loss to the Pacers, allowing fans atthe game and viewing at home to witness thecourtside experience. Indiana used it for the rst

me for a March 26 game against Miami, and theOrlando Magic broke it out for their April 9 gameagainst Brooklyn.

The Eagles are the rst NFL team to try theapplica on for Google Glass. They are planningfor a similar approach to the Pacers, who usedthe CrowdOp c program to provide mul plecourtside perspec ves over the videoboardduring games.

“We’re on a constant search for ways to enhance

the overall fan experience at Lincoln Financial



Field,” said Brian Papson, the vice president ofmarke ng for the Eagles. “So what caught us isthat this is a crea ve, di erent, new innova veway to do that.”

There are many factors at play with the use of

Glass at sports venues, including the strength ofthe WiFi network and the reliability of movingpeople wearing the technology. Thousands ofpeople using their phones to post to social mediaor check fantasy sports can grind WiFi networksto a halt, and a courtside perspec ve becomesmuch less a rac ve when it’s an obstructed view.

That’s where CrowdOp c comes in.

“What our stu does is it really converts all thischaos into a demonstrable broadcast feed that,

for example, the Pacers can really count on,”said Jon Fisher, the CEO and co-founder of SanFrancisco-based company. “So they can put Glassout there and it can work in many cases as wellas any other xed camera asset because of thesealgorithms at work.”

Maintaining a reliable feed is just onepoten al problem for sports teams deployingthe technology. There is concern aboutoverwhelming fans with a barrage of viewingop ons. The eyewear has faced cri cism overits intrusiveness and its ability to take photosand video through voice-ac vated commands,making it more likely that even a en ve fanscould nd themselves on the videoboard before

they realize what’s going on.

The rollouts have been conducted with great care.

“We haven’t just determined yet who’s going tobe wearing the Glass and deploying it, that’s all upfor a lot of discussion,” Papson said. “But I thinkas content such as this con nues to be more

available, I think every team has those discussionsas to what’s not appropriate to provide.”

Asked about his vision of the future, Johnsenpaints a compelling picture.

“If a fan wants to be Tom Brady, 10 seconds le inthe Super Bowl, in the red zone making the call inthe huddle and execu ng a play,” he said, “I thinkit’s absolutely possible next 10 years if not sooner... with Glass-like technology.”

using your deviCe 'on The go'

Anyone who has been on holiday anywhere,ever, for even the shortest period of me,knows how easily things can go wrong. Maybeyou've got a string of anecdotes of your own

to tell. Perhaps you have tales of missedights, hotel check-in problems, an inability to

access your work emails from Barbados, andmore besides?

To be fair, though, any issues you may haveexperienced in recent years 'on the go' mightnot be quite so profound as those that youwill have encountered just a few decades ago.These days, it seems that even the remotest

parts of the world aren't too far from a Wi-Fi hotspot or seven, and that's without evenconsidering how monumental an impact thesmartphone and tablet revolu on has had

In the old days, you wouldn't even have amobile phone to save you from the middleof nowhere. Now, from that same 'middle of

nowhere', you might be able to do a spot ofAmazon shopping. Yep, technology con nuesto make the world a lot smaller, but howexactly have iDevices sustained the trend?

Apple will soon make another bid to persuadeschools to replace textbooks with iPads. Nextweek, it will introduce a tool for instructors to

teach from the tablet.The company said that it would issue anupgrade on July 8 for iTunes U, its set of toolsfor educators. The update introduces a new appthat allows instructors to create, edit and assigncourse work using the iPad. (Before, instructorshad to log on to a computer and handle coursematerials through a web browser.

Apple’s new iTunes U app will also introduce theability for instructors and students to start groupchat sessions. For example, if students want todiscuss a homework assignment or a coursetopic, they can start a chat thread inside the app;the teacher can monitor their discussion andrespond to ques ons.

Apple has a long history of involvement ineduca on, including programs that alloweduca onal ins tu ons to buy Mac computers

in bulk. Students are generally a big target for thecompany, as the it typically releases upgrades forMac notebooks, iPhones and iPads around the

back-to-school season in fall.Tech companies, including Apple, Hewle -Packard and Microso , have long considered itcrucial to get people using their products whenthey are young and in school, because they arelikely to s ck with the same tools and brands asthey grow older.

Apple has been making an aggressive push toget iPads widely used in schools, and its e ortshave been fairly successful. The companysays 10 million iPads are now in use in schoolsaround the world. Apple has 94 percent ofthe tablet market share in schools in theUnited States, according to the research rmIDC. Some schools, like Montlieu Academy ofTechnology in North Carolina, have reported animprovement in average test scores a er iPadswere incorporated into classrooms.

APPLE EXPANDS iTUNES UEDUCATION APP FOR iPADS







But iPad integra on has faced challenges,par cularly in Los Angeles, according to a seriesof reports by The Los Angeles Times. About ayear ago, the board of educa on for the LosAngeles Uni ed School District authorized a$30 million contract with Apple to purchaseiPads in bulk for 47 schools. Among otherissues, students quickly found ways aroundthe security restric ons of the iPads to browsewhatever websites they wanted.

The Los Angeles school district, which is one ofthe largest school districts in the country, is tes nga new program that allows students to pick fromsix di erent laptop computers, according to TheLos Angeles Times.

huge, funny, crazy spoof movie in thetradition of movies like Airplane .”

Google is ne-tuning its digital music strategywith the acquisi on of Songza, a service thatcreates soundtracks tailored for people’schanging moods.

Financial terms of the deal announced Tuesdaywere not disclosed. That means the price isconsidered to be too small to a ect Google Inc.,which ended March with $59 billion in cash.

The acquisi on highlights the growingimportance of services that customize playlistsas more people listen to music through Internet

connec ons on their smartphones, tablets andpersonal computers.

Apple Inc. is buying headphone maker BeatsElectronics for $3 billion largely because it prizesthe song-picking prowess of a digital musicservice that Beats has been building. The musicservice combines automated formulas with theexper se of a team led by Beats’ co-founders,long me recording industry execu ve Jimmy

Iovine and hip-hop producer and rapper Dr. Dre.

Amazon.com Inc. also recently rolled out a music-streaming service that is part the company’s$99-per-year Prime package.

Those two technology powerhouses, alongwith Google, are trying to topple the earlyleaders in music streaming, Pandora MediaInc. and Spo fy.

No immediate changes will occur at Songza, whichmakes applica ons for Apple’s iPhone, iPad anddevices running on Google’s Android so ware.

“We can’t think of a be er company to join inour quest to provide the perfect soundtrackfor everything you do,” Songza said in a postannouncing its sale.

Google plans to blend Songza’s technology intoits own music-streaming service, which costs$10 per month. Songza’s tools also might beused to recommend musical videos at Google’sYouTube site, which is preparing to introduce asubscrip on op on, too.

The rst me the bipar san Privacy and CivilLiber es Oversight Board dissected a Na onalSecurity Agency surveillance program, it foundfundamental aws, arguing in a January reportthat the NSA’s collec on of domes c calling

records “lacked a viable legal founda on” andshould be shut down.

But in its latest study, the ve-member boardtakes the opposite view of a di erent set ofNSA programs revealed last year by former NSAsystems administrator Edward Snowden.

The new report, which the board was to voteon Wednesday, found that the NSA’s collec onof Internet data within the United Statespasses cons tu onal muster and employs“reasonable” safeguards designed to protectthe rights of Americans.

The board, whose members were appointedby President Barack Obama, largely endorseda set of NSA surveillance programs thathave provoked worldwide controversy sinceSnowden disclosed them. However, the board’s

report said some aspects of the programsraise privacy concerns meri ng new internalintelligence agency safeguards.

Under a provision of the 1978 Foreign IntelligenceSurveillance Act known as Sec on 702, the NSAuses court orders and taps on ber op c linesto target the data of foreigners living abroadwhen their emails, web chats, text messagesand other communica ons traverse U.S.

telecommunica ons systems.

NSA’S INTERNET MONITORING SAIDTO BE LEGAL

Sec on 702, which was added to the act in2008, includes the so-called PRISM program,under which the NSA collects foreignintelligence from Google, Facebook, Microso ,Apple and nearly every other major Americantechnology company.

U.S. intelligence o cials and skep cal membersof Congress have agreed that Sec on 702 hasbeen responsible for disrup ng a series ofterrorist plots and achieving other insights.

The board said the programs have “led thegovernment to iden fy previously unknownindividuals who are involved in interna onalterrorism, and it has played a key role in

discovering and disrup ng speci c terrorist plotsaimed at the United States and other countries.”

Because worldwide Internet communica onsare intermingled on ber op c linesand in cyberspace, known as the cloud,the collec on inevitably sweeps in thecommunica ons of Americans withno connec on to terrorism or foreignintelligence. Ac vists have expressed concern

that a secret intelligence agency is obtainingprivate American communica ons withoutindividual warrants. Some have ques onedhow such a program could be legal under theFourth Amendment to the Cons tu on.

The board, including a Democra c federal judge, two privacy experts and two formerRepublican Jus ce Department o cials,found that the NSA monitoring was legal and

reasonable and that the government takessteps to prevent misuse of Americans’ data.Those steps include “minimiza on” that leavesout the names of Americans from intelligencereports unless they are relevant.

“Overall, the board nds that the protec onscontained in the Sec on 702 minimiza onprocedures are reasonably designed andimplemented to ward against the exploita onof informa on acquired under the program for

illegi mate purposes,” said the report. “Theboard has seen no trace of any such illegi mateac vity associated with the program.”

That said, the board noted that the rules“poten ally allow a great deal of private

informa on about U.S. persons to be acquired bythe government.”

The board was troubled by the “unknownand poten ally large scope of the incidentalcollec on of U.S. persons’ communica ons,”and collec on of communica ons about atarget, such as a foreign terrorist organiza on,that could capture two innocent Americansdiscussing the organiza on.

The report proposals some rule- ghtening. Forexample, the board recommends that NSA andCIA analysts query Sec on 702 data using thenames or email addresses of Americans “onlyif the query is based upon a statement of factsshowing that it is reasonably likely to returnforeign intelligence informa on.”

Sec on 702 has its roots in the TerroristSurveillance Program, a collec on programPresident George W. Bush ordered a er the 9/11a acks without seeking a change in the law. A eradministra on lawyers deemed aspects of itillegal, and a er so-called warrantless wiretappingwas disclosed in news reports, Congressessen ally legalized the program in 2008.

Obama, then a senator running for president,voted in favor of the bill.
