they are doing more than just tracking phone numbers. If that was the case, they wouldn't be installing equipment that can analyze the packet contents, in real time, of all the data going through those centers. Picking the number of the origin, number of the destination and the length of the connection is all part of the standard packets that are generated when a call is completed. No extra hardware or software is needed to monitor these things. That is already in place.

I believe additional software would be necessary if one were doing a search for calls to or from a particular number in Peshawar or someplace for example.

They are, in fact, monitoring the actually data, be it text messages, packets routed across the Internet and actually phone conversations.

And if those are not US, is there are problem with that? Foreign calls routed through the US for technological reasons aren't constitutionally protected are they?
