#1 Oh, this'll matter (sarc). They'll write the final reg so that if you might ever 'become' a terrorist, they can keep the info. Or there will be a presidential 'finding' (secret, of course). Or they'll have the Brits do all the recordings of Americans, and we'll return the favor. Or they'll assist in the creation of an 'enhanced credit report', where all this information is kept by private companies, and guess what, no civil rights there. Or they'll just say that the peons need to be quieted; Sounds like a job for Homeland Security.

#7 If bulk collection is "unequivocally ended", there's no database to "scour". They're talking out of two sides of their mouths.
