What did he do?

  Ordered this bulk collection, then lied under oath that it wasn't happening. Would get away with it, too, if it wasn't for Snowden.

    Does bulk/metadata analysis even count though? It's not like somebody is personally going through your data. It's just a system that can infer the few records that are of interest. I'd rather have that, and allow us to stay protected against terrorists or spies from China/Russia... than play by some arbitrary rules and then get destroyed one day.

      > stay protected against terrorists or spies from China/Russia That's not what it's being used for. It's a flagrant violation of the 4th amendment. Whatever remains of it today, anyway. You don't get to do what amounts to a search without a court order with US citizens.
