What about NSA collecting BUSINESS communications and content?

If they are collecting the communications of Granny Brown and Joe Blow, they SURELY must be collecting the communications of corporations and business entities.

Where is the outrage about that?

If they have probable cause for suspicion and an individualized warrant regarding a particular investigation of terrorism?

Then the FBI should conduct the investigation.

I'm wondering if they are differentiating between business communications and individual communications when they are scooping everything up.

Wall Street should be outraged.

co-mingling their business with the government with their corporate clients? What would you guess a corporate client expects from BAH?

If the only firewall between clients is the ethical and moral principles of the Board of Directors - then my money would be on Yes.
