I agree with your thoughts on this. There needs to be a balance, and law enforcement has abilities to force data retention without needing a log of every packet that has moved for 2 years. I think terabytes is an understatement there, were talking petabytes of information to be available to anyone with even the slightest hint of a legal purpose to troll through. That thought makes me feel about as warm and fuzzy as the letter I got from the VA last week advising me of my information being stolen.
