If they have the authority to monitor some drug kingpin and then see that he is using encrypted email, then yes, they are allowed to keep that encrypted data in case it becomes relevant.

That is not at all the same thing as purposely looking for encrypted data around the planet then storing it simply because it's encrypted.

If this is not how it is being done, some kind of evidence needs to be brought to light showing this.
