What matters me is that most even forget to mention part of the metadata is the location of the device. With that data they can basically track everyone's location, almost as accurately as with GPS.

And such GPS tracking was just considered unconstitutional in a 9-0 decision by the Supreme Court. I really hope all this stuff gets to the Supreme Court. Even if not all of it is unconstitutional, I could see at least 80% of the policies comprised in Patriot Act and FISA Amendments Act being unconstitutional.
