They missed some things. Having this would have given them another opportunity to catch it...in that it may not have been absolutely necessary to stop it, it could have been sufficient to stop it.


It would have been more hay on the hay stack...they weren't going to see it unless someone told them to see it...no additional amount of random data was going to help considering the very specific data already on hand...and go ahead and listen in on international folks...go ahead and get warrants targeting individuals...but don't use fear to get and justify a general warrant on everyone in the country.

Metadata does not rise to level of needing a warrant though. Supreme Court has held this for decades. They wouldn't even need a court order to get it if Congress had not made that requirement in the FAA.
