A lawsuit filed by several AT&T customers aiming to stop NSA surveillance of their Internet activities without a warrant has been rejected in a ruling by an Oakland judge today.

The 10-page ruling argues that the plaintiffs can't prove they were targeted, and thus can't prove standing to challenge their surveillance, but simultaneously insists this is irrelevant and state secrets would prevent anyone from contesting their surveillance.

The judge says officials provided him with classified documents that convinced him to reject the lawsuit, though the exact reason is elusive, since the argument itself is classified.
