Mystery poster seems well informed, yet same of his/her suggested google searches I tried did not make sense to me.

Meanwhile, on a related note from EFF:

* Action Alert: Senate Intel. Committee Threatening to
Shelter Telcos for Illegal Spying!

With your help, we've made significant progress in
pressuring Congress to scrutinize the NSA spying program.
But the fight is far from over -- in fact, the Senate
Intelligence Committee is now quietly considering
legislation that could let telco giants like AT&T off the
hook for their role in the surveillance. Take action now
and help stop the illegal spying:
