Back in Time: The ECHELON Story

SUMMARY

When "ECHELON" was in the public spotlight, the European Commission investigated allegations that the NSA was conducting industrial espionage by targeting communications satellites. The NSA avoided a visit from the investigators. The final report “reflected” that the NSA played by the rules with congressional oversight, and “events post-9/11 have overtaken the spotlight.”
