The NSA has stadiums of digital storage space. Anything with a camera can be suspect, anything with a microphone can be suspect. They even use baby monitors to spy on people. Cameras are so tiny nowadays they can put them anywhere they want, so even general appliances could be suspect. How the US and other nations skirt laws against domestic spying: "Britain's GCHQ intelligence agency can spy on anyone but British nationals, the NSA can conduct surveillance on anyone but Americans, and Germany's BND (Bundesnachrichtendienst) foreign intelligence agency can spy on anyone but Germans. That's how a matrix is created of boundless surveillance in which each partner aids in a division of roles. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/secret-documents-nsa-targeted-germ...

William Binney (Former high level NSA analyst, also whistleblower pre-Snowden): “At least 80% of fibre-optic cables globally go via the US”, Binney said. “This is no accident and allows the US to view all communication coming in. At least 80% of all audio calls, not just metadata, are recorded and stored in the US. The NSA lies about what it stores.” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/11/the-ultimate-goal-of-t...

Eschelon was on 60 minutes back in the year 2000. The relevant part is 13 minutes.

Although the program was formally suspended, its data mining software was later adopted by other government agencies, with only superficial changes being made. The core architecture of TIA continued development under the code name "Basketball." According to a 2012 New York Times article, the legacy of Total Information Awareness is "quietly thriving" at the National Security Agency (NSA). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Information_Awareness May 4, 2013, right after Boston Marathon: a former FBI counterterrorism agent admitted that the government records all phone calls, and this is how they were going to investigate suspects. This was reported in The Guardian by Glenn Greenwald. Mind you, this was about a month before Greenwald first published the Snowden documents. Are all telephone calls recorded and accessible to the US government? A former FBI counterterrorism agent claims on CNN that this is the case - by Glenn Greenwald https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/may/04/telephone-calls-record... Sat 4 May 2013 08.22 EDT ...they are now focused on telephone calls between Russell and Tsarnaev that took place both before and after the attack to determine if she had prior knowledge of the plot or participated in any way. On Wednesday night, Burnett interviewed Tim Clemente, a former FBI counterterrorism agent, about whether the FBI would be able to discover the contents of past telephone conversations between the two. He quite clearly insisted that they could: BURNETT: Tim, is there any way, obviously, there is a voice mail they can try to get the phone companies to give that up at this point. It's not a voice mail. It's just a conversation. There's no way they actually can find out what happened, right, unless she tells them? CLEMENTE: "No, there is a way. We certainly have ways in national security investigations to find out exactly what was said in that conversation. It's not necessarily something that the FBI is going to want to present in court, but it may help lead the investigation and/or lead to questioning of her. We certainly can find that out. BURNETT: "So they can actually get that? People are saying, look, that is incredible. CLEMENTE: "No, welcome to America. All of that stuff is being captured as we speak whether we know it or like it or not." ...but, but muh "metadata"... No, they are pulling in everything, not just your metadata. Entire phone calls are recorded, then probably transcribed into text for easy storage and searching. They have also had "voiceprint" tech for years. That's another interesting aspect.
