I know they are killing themselves with information overload. I worked with databases, I worked at Verizon. They are the worst at accessing the information they want. Just a list of phone calls for a subset for a month required huge amounts of storage and we wanted to make it available on-line,so we had to just provide a summary or it would have been impossible to find anything. the data of the calls was kept the old fashioned way on tape. To keep all thin index information would require several super computers, I just don't think our government has the ability to handle the information they are collecting.
