Hmm... nice statistics

Those numbers quoted are only from the "legal" snooping. I wonder what the real total is from all the slurping in transit is?

OTOH, why would they need to make a legal request (I'm thinking China and few other places)? Everything gets slurped at the Great Firewall and I'd be willing to bet, that with some hits on keywords, much is analyzed and recorded for future use.
