Binney, who resigned from the NSA in 2001 over its domestic surveillance program, had just delivered a keynote speech in which he revealed what Shively called "evidence which we have not seen until this point."
"They're pulling together all the data about virtually every U.S. citizen in the country ... and assembling that information," Binney explained. "So government is accumulating that kind of information about every individual person and it's a very dangerous process." He estimated that something like 1.6 billion logs have been processed since 2001.
Shively and livestreamer Tim Pool, who was filming the interview, concluded by noting that videos of Binney's keynote address will be available shortly.

. . . but they're not reading your e-mail.
And, they've been working on not being able to read your e-mail since about WW II.
And, they're building an information processing bunker in Utah (as I recall), claiming they're spending only two billion dollars, to not read your e-mail either.
Read James Bamford, here's a [Link] to Amazon where one review reads:
"Whistleblower Mark Klein tells the story of the illegal government spying apparatus installed at an AT&T office by the National Security Agency, and his battle to bring it to light and protect Americans’ 4th Amendment rights. After the New York Times revealed in 2005 that the NSA was spying on Americans’ phone calls and e-mail without Constitutionally-required court warrants, the Bush administration openly defended this practice which also violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. All details of the highly secret program remained hidden from the public—until Klein came forward. A technician for over 22 years at telecom giant AT&T, Klein was working in the Internet room in San Francisco in 2003 and discovered the NSA was vacuuming everyone’s communications into a secret room, and he had the documents to prove it (sample pages included). He went to the media in 2006, and then became a witness in a lawsuit brought against the company by the Electronic Frontier Foundation."
