That's another option they have. edit: it's occurred to me there's a huge flaw in this claim: Preventing the cowardly, panicked response isn't the NSA's department. The NSA has lied about the effectiveness of its mass data collection, claiming that it foiled terrorist plots. The claims don't actually hold up under investigation. But in the process of exaggerating the effectiveness of this particular alleged solution to terrorist danger, they also exaggerated the pervasiveness of that danger, which probably did make the panicked, cowardly response in question both more panicked and more cowardly.
