Too late!

If it’s anything like the Verizon metadata program then the government probably is creating a database that requires another warrant to actually access with regards to any particular citizen. Archiving the data isn’t a huge problem for a government, the resources to meaningfully process and analyze it all are what’s lacking. So gathering until a request is made to monitor. The degree to which the FISA courts might simply be serving as a rubber stamp should be investigated though, what’s the exact purpose of a gatekeeper that never actually shuts the gate.
