Yeah I think this is on the right lines. See also the detail from this other article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5845258 that implies that the government does not see _holding_ data as a particular problem, it believes that _looking_ at data is what it needs a FISA order for. The metaphor of receiving a van full of boxes, and only needing permission to open the boxes, but not needing permission to store them. Thats bad news because of the lack of oversight once the boxes are in their possesion.
