1.7 *Billion* communications intercepted by NSA *Daily*

   "But improvements have been overtaken by volume at the ODNI, as the
    increased flow of intelligence data overwhelms the system's ability to
    analyze and use it. Every day, collection systems at the National
    Security Agency intercept and store 1.7 billion e-mails, phone calls
    and other types of communications. The NSA sorts a fraction of those
    into 70 separate databases. The same problem bedevils every other
    intelligence agency, none of which have enough analysts and
    translators for all this work."
