Glad I Don't have Verizon

From the New York Daily News: The National Security Agency is gathering telephone records of all Verizon customers — who number in the tens of millions — in the U.S., a bombshell report revealed Wednesday.
The top-secret court order, obtained by the Guardian newspaper, requires the carrier to hand over information regarding phone calls — which does not include actual conversations — on an “ongoing, daily basis” to the FBI.
The order, signed by Florida federal Judge Roger Vinson, went into effect April 25 and extends until July 19.....
That provision allows the government to seize a broad range of records with the approval of the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court — including banking, library and phone records — without having to declare whether the information is related to terrorism.
A spokesman for Verizon, which reportedly has more than 70 million customers, would not comment on the ongoing data dump.
This is not the first time the immense scale of the government’s surveillance capabilities has come into view.
In 2006, USA Today reported that the NSA was compiling “the largest database ever assembled” of call information provided by carriers like AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth.
The information, the paper reported, was used in algorithms that processed the vast amount of information and singled out patterns of caller behavior that indicated possible links to terrorism.

So, to look for terrorists, the government needs to look at all the phone records from all the Verizon customers?
Glad I don't have Verizon as a telephone customer. 
Just more irresponsible behavior of the Obama administration.
