Wherever the data is stored, and however they are viewed, the problem that still remains is that the gathered information can be and has been used by NSA agencies to wiretap into peoples' e-mails and phone conversations without them knowing it, which is not in accord with the US Constitution and something I consider to be very cynical of the government.
The NSA also has powerful search tools where the agencies can enter a person's name or IP address or anything vital that they know about him and then they can start tracking that person (for whatever reasons) and they can also pull up many other details about that person.

Yes, this isn't the movies, but it appears that certain things about the NSA came to existence partially out of movie-influenced fantasies.
