The NSA is taking what is for them the easy route. It looks like they are doing a lot. They hired a lot of bodies and brains, and they are collecting a lot of information. But as McGovern points out, they aren't doing the old-fashioned sleuthing they need to do to identify terrorists and differentiate them from the curiosity-seekers on the internet. They did not catch the Boston Bombers. And that was an easy one.

Collecting the metadata on millions of Americans is a waste of money. They should target their investigations.
