But regardless...
You've actually just made my point. It's MUCH easier for the NSA to access and utilize metadata because:
a) it's machine-readable, and so it doesn't require the analysis to be as sophisticated.
b) it's GOT to be cleartext by nature.
Accordingly, metadata needs to be *better-protected* by nature.
