In my opinion I think that regardless of what data has been collected under the Patriot Act or other programs like it, this President and his friends have been 'looking' for something that will be big enough to cover all of this administrations blunders and they just keep getting caught doing things that they just shouldn't be doing. Pretty bad when the average cell phone user can't trust the Federal Government. Sounds like the beginning of a dictatorship.  No thanks Obama.
