The article is misleading. Yes, you need a warrant to obtain phone records of an individual. But that is not exactly what is going on. There are no names/individuals attached to these numbers. It is nothing but a list of numbers. Its the same data you get in the mail every month. Do they need a court order to "obtain" the data and send you a bill? No.
Stevo, you are either naive or believe the rest of us are. I have read in today's papers that there are numerous public directories sorted by phone number or address. In fact, give me your phone number and I will find your name and address in my 2006 Cole Information Services Directory. If a reverse directory like this is available to the general public, why would you believe that this or something far more sophisticated isn't available to NSA?

If you doubt me... www.coleinformation.com
