Apparently the FISA court has authorized DOJ/NSA to collect under subpoena every single call made to or from a Verizon customer (and, likely, any call transaction placed through any Verizon backbone) from April through June. That's right - every single call (and likely text) record for this period will be given to DoJ for their perusal.
Whilst the ostensible justification is for anti-terrorist/national security efforts, it doesn't take the brainpower of Albert Einstein to see how the supercomputers at NSA can collate and cross-reference this information - for example, it could, should it so choose, identify any and all calls placed on Verizon lines to or from NRA, 2AF, GOA, etc. etc. and fairly easily develop an essentially comprehensive enemies list.
Now, I'm sure the wonderfully honest, open and transparent regime would never do such a thing...
