That's  not how the warrantless system works.

It samples a percentage of all  international calls with one termination
point in the USA.

It  listens for familiar voices, key words, and other currently unknown
metrics  to determine whether or not the call is of interest.  This in and  of
itself is a violation of the 4th amendment.  This is akin to police  randomly
coming to your home, poking around inside, and figuring out if you  have any
Islamist Arabs hanging out inside.

This is BEFORE the call  is handed off for deeper monitoring and analysis.



Good thing that is not at all what is being addressed here.. I watched  
todays press conference and again it was stated that all these calls 
originated  or 
ended on forein soil with KNOWN al-queida operatives, terrorists, or those  
officially suspected of aiding them. There is NOT sampling of calls randomly  
going on.
