You are comparing the NSA to private citizens. It's like comparing apples to oranges. One is highly regulated the other is not. also huffington post is fake news and has 0 credibility.

No, I made no such comparison. Reread my post. I merely augmented a correct statement RE the use of parallel construction by LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Stop conflating what I wrote with what others have written.

Don't like HP? Fine. There are scores of other sites to back up what I wrote.

How Police Obtain Search warrants: the police provide the judge or magistrate with information in the form of written statements under oath, called "affidavits," which report either their own observations, or those of private citizens or police informants. If the magistrate believes that the affidavit establishes probable cause to conduct a search, he or she will issue a warrant.

Law enforcement which is NSA is required to have a search warrant. You are comparing the evidence collected by the NSA to evidence collected by private citizens. They are not regulated the same way.
