While it seems so on its face, generally one cannot sue unless one demonstrates that harm/damage has occurred or such harm is imminent. Alito said in the majority opinion that this ruling is not intended to insulate the FISA expansion from judicial review. He essentially said, “Come back when you can prove that the government has intercepted your communications and we’ll hear the case.”

Which is just fine for Uncle Scam. Any evidence of spying on the American people will remain secret under "national security" and any whistle blowers that bring forth evidence of this illegal activity will be put in jail.

And this no standing BS is that same reason Barry Soetoro is still in the White Hut. Apparently no citizen has standing in government courts when they try to sue the government for violating the Constitution.
