For one. The government doesn’t have enough personnel to “spy” on every American. It would also be next to impossible to upload, save, and analyze ever single call in an almost real time basis. Metadata is a basic form of intelligence gather which if Feinstein is correct is only used as evidence rather than prevention. There is no grand big brother giant head watching our every move. If this were true they would have nabbed the Boston Marathon bombers beforehand.

What you’re describing is “Security through Obscurity”. My kid, who is on the commercial end of this issue, says you’re right, for now.
