Honestly, with those numbers, are you really worried that the NSA can even examine a tenth of the volume in a given day?
Absolutely. You seriously need to go find someone who is a big data architect and ask him this question. As long as you operate from a basis of incorrect understanding then your conclusions will never be accurate. There is ZERO question as to what could be done with this data. We are only discussing whether they will do it or not... and if so when.
Look, all I am saying is that using a computer alone to go through all that data is not going to get anyone very far. It will still take a human to examine that data to see if there is really a threat or not. The current system the NSA is using is due to be replaced in October of this year with a titan super computer developed at Oak Ridge TN.
Alright, the NSA has the capability to spy on every form of electronic communication in the country, that is their job.

But it's not at all tricky for the government, as Eric Lichtblau and James Risen of the New York Times reported in this Pulitzer-Prize winning story in 2005:
As part of the program approved by President Bush for domestic surveillance without warrants, the N.S.A. has gained the cooperation of American telecommunications companies to obtain backdoor access to streams of domestic and international communications, the officials said.
Over the weekend Lichtblau and Risen reported that Verizon has "set up a dedicated fiber-optic line running from New Jersey to Quantico, Va., home to a large military base, allowing government officials to gain access to all communications flowing through the carrier’s operations center."
CYBER EXPERT: The NSA Has The Means And Motive To Spy On Everyone
However, with all that data, how are they actually going to check the email or cell phone calls of every citizen of the US? Remember, a prepaid no contract cell phone does require a name on the agreement, but it does not have to be a real name.
Besides, everyone is screaming Obama did it... actually Obama just continued with the program set up by Bush after 9/11, who just modified a program set up by a previous president.
The supreme court ruled that users have no right to privacy using a cell phone, and again there has been no ruling concerning the internet.
Oh, fyi, one of the main things the NSA monitors is social networks like face book. Now considering how many people post every little detail of what they are doing at any given minute of every day, add to that the number of "grumpy cat" memes that are posted and reposted, as well as all the other dog, cat, baby, family photos...
What was it said about the internet, it is just like ancient Egypt, everyone worships cats and writes on walls?
its their job?
to violate rights?
ok.
not only do they violate everyones rights, they were created for that purpose of violating peoples rights and have full intention to continue to violate peoples rights.
Over the airwaves is "narrowly" understandable if they happen to have something drop into their lap, however they set up monitoring stations with FULL INTENT.
Now over the wires is completely another story, that is no longer something that could just happen by freak occurrence and is 100% willful.
these cases do not get properly set up in the courts and then we get shit on due to shit cases being run through purposefully.
The system should be abolished.
