Just saying, if the rumors about some of these metadata programs are true then they can essentially listen to any conversation that has taken place near a speaker that is connected to a public network. Even if they didn't know about the conversation when it was happening, they can recall it as they're constantly recording. Pretty intense stuff.

I just think "needle in a haystack" was a bit of a stretch.
Used to work with CSIS agents. Those guys know what they are doing and do a great job detecting any threats. We are lucky in Canada to have them. It really is amazing how they do their jobs.
