The NSA's Own Heat Map That Proved It Was Lying

The NSA’s internal Top Secret heat map showed the United States in the darkest red with nearly three billion data elements counted in a single 30-day period - a count generated by the agency’s own system, not a projection. How did an accounting tool become the clearest contradiction to public assurances that the agency did not collect data on millions of Americans?

In this episode, we present the facts about what the program did, how it worked, and who revealed the heat map to the public - and we ask how an internal ledger ended up exposing a public claim. What did BOUNDLESSINFORMANT actually count, and why did its numbers matter?
