> Has the leak of NSA tools changed anything?

Yes. The bipartisan USA Freedom Act limited several aspects of the NSA's dragnet [1]. Amendments weakening the bill were defeated [2]. Less materially, a documentation requirement for § 702 searches of U.S. persons was added in 2018 [3].

I’m skeptical the NSA doesn’t just ignore or creatively interpret laws it doesn’t like, given their past history and the consequences for their misbehavior.

I mean when the CIA got busted not only spying on Congress a few years ago, but also lying about spying on Congress, they were told “don’t do that again please.”

It's mind boggling Clapper wasn't crucified for this. This sort of thing keeps happening and some sketchy outsider may get elected with catch phrases like "Drain the swamp". Oh wait...

There is only one org that has access to all of this data and more.
