IIRC, they can store it ssl-ed and wait for the encryption to be broken. If Google can store everything in their servers, NSA, CIA et al with virtually unlimited budgets and some of the best mathematicians in the world surely can do the same.

It looks like they have some sort of alerting system for real-time "incident surfacing" for things they feel they need to react to quickly, but I imagine most of their work is over the longer-term as far as building profiles of their targets.
