==About queries==
Section 702 "About queries" are intended for use against non-U.S. citizens ''outside'' the United States. If a U.S. citizen is "incidentally collected" in a 702 search, their name by law is supposed to be "masked" or "minimalized" under "minimalization procedures." Because a U.S. citizen's [[constitutional]] [[Fourth Amendment]] right against unreasonable searches do not end at the water's edge, 702 search queries are not intended to be used against an American citizen as the target. Technologically however, there are no impediments to prevent it.
