It's chilling that they explicitly mention parallel construction on page 12:

When a complete set of CDRs are subpoenaed from the carrier, then all memorialized references to relevant and pertinent calls can be attributed to the carrier's records, thus "walling off" the information obtained from Hemisphere. In other words, Hemisphere can easily be protected if it is used as a pointer system to uncover relevant numbers.

Our country is full of police departments that fund themselves through seizures of drug money, that they know about by using data our intelligence services collected on us.

I wonder who's using the phone data to buy and sell stocks? Maybe that's what they'll get into once we legalize marijuana.
