This is an appeal of Klayman vs. Obama, where Judge Leon ruled last December that "[b]ulk telephony metadata collection and analysis almost certainly does violate a reasonable expectation of privacy," which, in turn, likely results in a violation of the Fourth Amendment.[1] This is probably the biggest win so far in this round of NSA cases, although EFF and ACLU also have complementary lawsuits in progress. The government's arguing that Klayman doesn't have standing because (they say) it's extremely unlikely his metadata would ever be viewed by a human being, as opposed to just recorded and analyzed. This is by the way the same Larry Klayman who's suing the federal government arguing that the current Ebola screening procedures open the door to ISIS suicide terrorists. [2] Strange bedfellows.
