I don't think it's what they are doing. They are probaly doing keywords search on communications. It's more practice... paterns recognizing voice, words... you know that kind of stuff. It's quite easy and not hard to do, you just need a lot of computing power.
Depend in what are you working, if it's a database of known Stars coordinates around the Universe, I can understand easly. But for custommers records, it must takes a hell lot of records. Except if they have photos or some other "non-text" data.
The lawsuit also alleges that AT&T has given the government unfettered access to its over 300 terabyte "Daytona" database of caller information -- one of the largest databases in the world.
That's 8,796,093,022,208 bit X 300 OR 1,024 Gigabyte X 300 OR if you prefer 1,048,576 Megabyte X 300.
That's 307,200 Gigabytes(GIGS). I think they either don't know how to optimise their data or they have a hell of it.
Just say "I'm a sex bomb". Your call will be recorded -> keyword match. Then you can pass any message you want to the governement, at least someone will be listening.

It's the only way to conduct keywords search on communications.
I think it's the only missing piece of a police state.
