&gt; They may not &quot;have everyone&#x27;s data&quot;, but they have data on most Americans in one form or another<p>Where did you hear that?  It&#x27;s not in anything that&#x27;s been leaked, and the NSA surely didn&#x27;t say it, so I&#x27;m curious where you got that information.<p>To be fair, I&#x27;m assuming you&#x27;re talking about data collected clandestinely, not stuff like tax information or social security number (obviously the government has that data).  If you&#x27;re just talking about the data that gets generated as part of being a citizen of the US, then yes, the NSA, FBI, IRS, etc. probably does have that information.
