who said anything about transcribing anything?

the nsa has a datacenter in utah with *yotto* bytes. they're saving
everything, including the contents of email, twitter, facebook and who
knows what else. they're tapping into the internet backbones to get
whatever they want. they even put in backdoors in code.

  In fact the NSA is already building a gigantic supercomputer to
  process a gigantic amount of information. It¹s a $2 billion
  Utah-based facility that can process yottabytes (a quadrillion
  gigabytes) of data, according to the Gizmondo technology blog.
