I doubt they are, why would I doubt his seriousness? When are you
going to figure out that there are enough "loopholes" in the
restrictions on government in these matters to drive a truck through.

Does your inane thought that someone is actually going to get into
trouble of this shit deserve a respectful response?

Who's in denial is the question.

Huh? No one can currently offer proof that the NSA has done ANYTHING,
let alone maintained a database of the last 5 year's phone calls. Btw,
do you have a clue as to how large that database would be - even if
the only two fields it contained is the dialing and receiving phone
numbers??!?!?
