“The people tasked with hunting down Edward Snowden work for the Associate Directorate for Security and Counterintelligence, reports The Daily Beast. The directorate is sometimes known as ‘the Q Group.’ The security and counterintelligence directorate serves as the NSA’s internal police force. It has the authority to interview an NSA contractor or employee’s known associates, and even to activate a digital dragnet capable of finding out where a target travels, what the target has purchased, and the target’s online activity, reports DB. Bottom line: The data collection that Snowden leaked about is now being used to track him.”
