I've never understood theories about NSA capability. Everyone complains that Government officials are barely competent, if at all, yet when it comes to NSA, those same people think NSA staff is at least ten times as brilliant as the general population.
Everything I've seen NSA do is largely based on the same techniques Google uses, except 10 years later, much more expensively, and with much uglier PowerPoint presentations. The only thing NSA has that private organizations don't is the compelled cooperation of telecom companies.
