By Anna Edwards PUBLISHED: 02:31 EST, 1 August 2013 | UPDATED: 06:03 EST, 1 August 2013 Edward Snowden's documents claim to show details of the XKeyscore programme U.S. intelligence agencies can search though emails, messaging records and browsing history using a vast search tool according to reports from former security contractor Edward Snowden. Snowden's documents claim to show National Security Agency training materials for the XKeyscore program, a wide-reaching system that covers 'nearly everything a typical user does on the Internet.' Intelligence analysts can conduct surveillance through XKeyscore by filling in an on-screen form giving only a 'broad justification' for the search and no review by a court or NSA staff, the Guardian reported.

'The implication that @placeholder's collection is arbitrary and unconstrained is false,' the agency said in a statement in response to the Guardian's new report, calling XKeyscore part of 'NSA's lawful foreign signals intelligence collection system.'
