That's pretty much the Privacy Board's take on the NSA collecting data on the Internet.
Oh, sure, the NSA denies collecting everything on the Internet (though the Obama Administration says they can), they say that their collection is "targeted", but they are lying. They always have been lying. And yes, they are collecting your phone calls.
I don't know what the answer is. Passing laws to change what the NSA does is going to be almost as futile as passing laws to outlaw global warming.

I've come to the conclusion that the only good answer to the many principal-agent problems in Western governments is to introduce national-level plebiscites with at the very least the force of law and at least one year immunity against parliamentary/congressional efforts to nullify them.
This way the citizens could destroy (defund) a couple rogue agencies to force the others into serving their true master (the citizens) properly.
