A thought about the NSA and phone records

NSA picks up info about some terror funding and arms in Afghanistan.

They start looking into the calls and find that a call was placed from there to somewhere in South America.

As they go through the calls and trace funding they end up....

With you talking to your friend.

Who was talking the day before with Janet because he wanted some weed.

She called her friend, who had a supply and from his calls they find another person up the chain....and people who never knew anyone in anyway have a call tree associating them with terrorist funding. Now they can get a plethora of warrants to listen and research more.

Map out everything you can in some way or other and you can find a way to show cause to get info on someone that you don't like.

Well, you get the idea.
