The NSA rep was trying to recruit college students to work at the controversial agency, which collects tons of metadata, emails, phone calls and various other information on American citizens. <\/p>\n
University of New Mexico grad Andy Beale and student Sean Potter asked Neal Z. about the massive collection of information by the NSA, reports The Intercept. <\/p>\n
Beale and Potter filmed the incident from two angles (videos below). <\/p>\n
Amazingly, Neal Z. claimed, \"NSA is not permitted to track or collect intelligence on U.S. persons. <\/p>\n
However, after NSA leaker Edward Snowden revealed the mass surveillance of Americans by the NSA, the director of national intelligence, James Clapper, admitted to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) in an April letter that the NSA does collect information on Americans, noted The Guardian. <\/p>\n
In June, the NSA admitted it was spying on American phone calls, reported CNET, and even the phone habits of the U.S. Congress, according to The New American. <\/p>\n
Later, Neal Z. admitted the NSA does collect data under the guidance of the (secret) FISA court, which is not open or accountable to the public. <\/p>\n
After Beale and Potter politely debunked several of Neal Z's claims, Neal Z. angrily threatened to call authorities to silence the two Americans: You do not know what youre talking about. If you dont leave soon, Im going to call university security to get you out of my face. <\/p>\n
Neal Z. tried to grab Potter's iPhone, but it was Potter and Beale who were removed from the fair by campus police for causing a disturbance. <\/p>\n
