What is the purpose of storing someone's IP?, doesn't it change every day or something, unless they have a static IP, which most people do not? The NSA will probably be able to cross reference it with Goggle/BookFarce cookies or something like that. :-(

Think of these articles as gossip. People gather and talk about «life and death» somewhere 10.000km away. NSA has a mandate. They can't break certain encryption. And guys who have something to hide are going to use that. Or they are already monitored. Other people use these tools too. And
