Now, they are tighten the screws on everything from telecoms to bank accounts; to prevent another round of fumbled information resulting in a preventable issue going unchecked.
If you mean the 'misplaced' information surrounding the 9/11 hijackers, I'm not sure any amount of wiretapping/snooping would have ever changed the situation. The problem was more related to, according to news reports and senate (house?) hearings/testimony, miscommunications inside each of the parts of the DoJ/CIA/NSA. All the wiretapping in the world wont get information passed correctly inside these organizations. Smoke screen efforts are less helpful and are simple diversions from the reality of the problem.
