    The employees even had a code name for the practice – "Love-int" – meaning the gathering of intelligence on their partners.

    One employee was disciplined for using the NSA's resources to track a former spouse, the Associated Press said.
    Last week it was disclosed that the NSA had broken privacy rules on nearly 3,000 occasions over a one-year period.

    John DeLong, NSA chief compliance officer, said that those errors were mainly unintentional, but that there have been "a couple" of wilful violations in the past decade.
