Yes. We have Constitutional rights that protect us from such surveillance. Foreigners have no such protections from the U.S. government. This has essentially "lifted the veil" and made it abundantly clear that our government will no longer respect the rights of it's citizen's, even in a formal official capacity.
This is no surprise to me, as such abuses tend to go hand in hand, but it definitely takes things to a new level.

This is an example of a lie that has repeated often enough to have become the truth. The Bill of Rights limits what the government can and can't do, period.
