Where it came from
<paranoia class="professional carefully-nurtured">
The data came from a 3-letter agency. Anyone who has made any use of it will be bumped up their watch list. Like the Reg's journalist (except journalists are probably already a lot higher on the list than John Doe, it goes with the profession).
You'll note I say "up" not "onto". Everyone who has ever made a phone call is on the list already.
