Guided Lesson: 

Intelligence gathering has occurred throughout history. 
The NSA uses "queries" (A database query is a piece of code (a query) 
that is sent to a database in order to get information back from 

the database. ) to meet its objectives of counterterrorism, 
counterproliferation and cyber security. However, many people
question if gathering huge amounts of metadata without a 

warrant violates our 4th Amendment rights. (The right of the people to be 
secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable 
searches and seizures)
