Documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden have revealed much about the inner workings of the agency's surveillance programs, yet there remain questions over which agencies have access to the programs, and how they've been deployed. The Times report suggests that the FBI has access to the PRISM database and has broadened its own scope of surveillance, though there is still no indication that the program was limited to anti-terrorism or national security cases. The 2012 Justice Department study is at times heavily redacted, as well, with all but one reference to PRISM blacked out, despite the fact that the program has been publicly acknowledged. A lawyer for The New York Times says the paper may challenge those redactions at a later date.
