sharon chin tells us about a program called x keyscore. >> reporter: the u.s.t can vacuum up information on nearly everything you do on the internet as you're doing it. the secret program called x keyscore detailed in these classified nsa documents apparently leaked by edward snowden. >> they have multiple ways to get at all your information, phones, e-mail, your web browsing. >> reporter: mark klein blew the whistle on the nsa several years ago for mining e-mail records through at&t's san francisco office. and today with the new technology? >> they could store a whole dossier on everybody in the country going back years. that's pretty frightening. >> reporter: government surveillance versus privacy took center stage at a talk tonight in oakland. x keyscore had a massive infrastructure with hundreds of servers around the world. intelligence officials don't even need your e-mail address to monitor your online activity. sidney cohen says it is illegal for the government to monitor americans without a warrant. >> the government gets access first and proves you did

keyscore is the interface that allows an n.s.a. agent to do what amounts to a google search against your data and in many cases they're doing that search against the data they got from moodle so that is a google search in almost a very literal sense so when edward snowden said that he and other analysts came from their desk hack into someone's e-mail as long as they have an e-mail address it seems to point to this program where you just search an e-mail address and you have access to that so yes absolutely the data that they are looking for is. the contacts that you you know exchanged e-mail with the documents you've exchanged with other people how that how that document got to you where it came from it's original author whether you ever used any kind of software or tool to protect yourself from this kind of surveillance and then whether you done that whether or not they can exploit your machine to defeat that defense mechanism so it's it's a it's a database that fingerprints almost everything that you do online i'm thinking about
