69. You are making some huge mistakes. The data collected is collected by Booz-Allen.

I believe they even compile the data and analyze the data. After all they get 50 billions of dollars of your tax money. This collection of data violates the FISA Law and the Constitution. NSA claims they only look at data when authorized by warrant. Do you believe them? Why would you believe them? They are the exact same fucking players that illegally wiretapped for Bush. They are the same players, they have the same programs, and they have the same fucking leaders under Obama. Why would you trust them? And we have learned that the FISA judges approve 100% of the requests. Plez tell me that you agree that looks suspicious.

Who collects the data?

How many Americans are included in the data collection?

Who holds the data?

Who can access the data?
