What about the problem of distinguishing domestic vs foreign communications? NSA already minimizes American information, plus FBI doesn't have authority to track who called to or from the US to a foreign nation like Pakistan from what I understand, so no phone meta data. The NSA may be too big but I haven't seen anyone bring an actual technical solution for setting the boundaries and so forth.

> NSA already minimizes American information

While this is the PR, in practice it's categorically untrue.

As long as you believe in Santa Claus, how about the NSA also be put in charge of delivering Christmas presents to children who are nice by drone, and punishing children who are naughty (also by drone), since they are already monitoring everyone and everything, and they make it their business to know who's naughty and nice.
