To echo what someone else said, the problem here is when presented with the following scenarios:
1) Levison saying "absolutely, you are entitled to Snowden's contact/header details and I will give it to you within 60 days (or more frequently for more compensation)"
vs.
2) The govt saying "not good enough, give us the keys to everything real-time and we promise we won't get his communications content plus we will ignore the other 399,999 subscribers we will have access to".
Arguments on pg. 76 describe how this discretion should not be allowed.
Also, the govt said it required real-time access which I'm not sure is true - although certainly they would like it. That's why I think they should have compromised with Levison and they would have been granted what they wanted.
