I wish they were softer! All your statement actually indicates is YOUR level of ignorance. It's ignorance like that that's allowed the NSA free rein to do whatever the hell they like.
If you look at the totality of my post reply you may notice a slight hint at what is often referred to as "tongue & cheek" comment.

"
We believe this data is valuable and useful to the community that is looking to better understand these issues. However we recognize that this reportfocused on law enforcement and excluding national securityonly paints part of the picture."
What that means is that this report is about requests from the FBI, State Police, City & County Police/Sheriff (local police) with absolutely nothing to do with NSA requests.
My apologies for initially not being clearer.
