#1 I'm not going to the link, but let's do some math - 2,000 "illegally gathered" records over 5 years. That's 400 a year, a little more than one a day. And how many records were "legally" gathered during the same period? And what's the ratio of the two?

Again, without bothering to see if the WAPO gets the basics right, I'd bet this is a failure rate of something less than .1%.

Statistical background noise, probably not noticeable even if you're standing there watching it happen.

But I'm sure it's a nefarious conspiracy of some kind.
