Well, any student of the NSA will tell you that they have been vacuuming up all the calls they can get their hands on for decades.

James Bamford in 1982's The Puzzle Palace (*) reported that the NSA recorded everything they could get their hands on, and legally only considered it intercepted if reviewed by a person.

But the value of recording everything is much less if it's widely known that they're doing it!
