Precisely. All of these claims about what the NSA is "not doing" are silly, and almost certainly false. It's not an "either-or" situation. It's an "and" situation. The NSA is tapping undersea cables and sucking up e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g that crosses them AND getting data through court orders and national security letters AND getting all phone metadata from all phone companies AND tapping into the backbones at appropriate places and sucking up everything that crosses those places AND listening in to every satellite communication AND...... It's AND, not OR.
