NSA and Data Mining?

What is your opinion about possible effectiveness of NSA reported analysis of US domestic call information. There are probably trillions of calls. Can social network analysis be sufficiently effective?
Do they have to use additional data sources to make it effective?

See very interesting perspective from a data miner on how you can
get a lot of additional information from call info, including
geography, whether the phone is land line or cellular
