USA Today reports that the National Security Agency is in possession of billions of records of domestic telephone calls. An unnamed source for the story reports that AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth have turned over records of calls and that is the NSA's goal "to create a database of every call ever made". Of the major local telecom providers, only Qwest declined to cooperate with the NSA, citing "it was uneasy about the legal implications of handing over customer information to the government without warrants." The EFF recently filed suit against AT&T for alleged wholesale delivery of phone and Internet data to the NSA without any judicial oversight.
