But simply because they claim they "can't keep up."

Interesting point the article makes that if this is so, it raises "questions about whether it is as essential a terrorist-fighting tool as the NSA and its supporters have argued."

Given that the President is one of those supporters, I wonder if this will encourage him to put more protections in place now, before the NSA does catch up with the other 2/3.

Not that spying on one out of every three people without a warrant is a good thing...
