For me, it's less about Verizon as a specific example, and more about the fact that all mobile carriers store this data. In fact, they frequently retain it for years, so if three years from now someone subpoenas your AT&T metadata, they have a realistic idea of where you were and who you were with. (Or at least that is the case for most people). In the age of "National Security Letters" and other warrantless warrants, it's even more concerning. ~Griffin -- Too many emails?
