This paragraph alone should be chilling....
"Ever since details of the NSA's surveillance infrastructure were leaked by Edward Snowden, the agency has been insistent on the boundaries of the information it collects. It is not, by law, allowed to spy on Americans ? although there are exceptions of which it takes advantage. Its PRISM program, under which it collects internet content, does not include information from Americans unless those Americans are connected to terror suspects by no more than two other people. It collects metadata on phone calls made by Americans, but reportedly stopped collecting metadata on Americans' internet use in 2011. So how, then, would the government know what Catalano and her husband were searching for?"
And they tell them that this is happening 100 TIMES A WEEK??? (and that is just in that region!!).

interesting the part where the agents admit to searching themselves. wonder if they get 'random visits' from coworkers.
and if not, isn't that glaring security breach?
