AT&T also revealed that it receives more than 200 “exigent” requests a day — a sworn declaration from an officer that there’s an emergency — in which case AT&T hands over the data without a judge approving. That’s 79,300 in 2011, up from 25,000 in 2007.

Of course. I'm sure they're only using the information gleaned from my calls for national security purposes...and to find out what I thought about the fifth season of Jersey Shore.

I don't understand people that text all the time, the text can be saved indefinitely and scanned by programs at a later date, it's like you're volunteering your daily communications in life to be cataloged.... FOR-EV-ER.....
