My, aren't you the naive person. The government does not have the capability or the resources to selectively collect information and it actually uses the shot gun approach to collect it and then all of the collected information is sifted through filters that finds stuff they are looking for and some they are not looking for. The data is all saved though, you can bet on that be it on servers or some similar media that leaves it all retrievable. They also have any number of people reviewing this information the useful and not useful. What they do not want to filter for today will likely be what they want to filter for tomorrow. You seem to think we should trust the same incompetance that could not weed out the terrorists plans in 2001 to safe guard and not abuse the information they have collected since. I have yet to find one shred of evidence that I should trust them with the volume of information that they collect.
