Mike Taylor, who lives in Dublin, Georgia, says the National Security Agency has been watching him since 2006. He didn’t know why he was being surveilled, however, so he filed a Freedom of Information Act request to find out. When the NSA blew him off with its infamous boilerplate neither confirm or deny letter, he filed a lawsuit. I found Taylor’s case while sifting through the dozens of federal lawsuits that have been filed against the NSA since former government contractor Edward Snowden started leaking internal documents.
