I've always found that when large organizations start a large project or begin a radical shift (like pre- to post-9/11 NSA's surveillance program), the goal is every bit as competent and well thought out as any could be, but the implementation is always rushed and rickety.
That's probably what we have here. A very sophisticated surveillance program that siphons data from all the major networks, that also misses 99% of the communications it was designed to catch because that last 20% of implementation isn't worth the expenditure.
