Google themselves have done the same thing https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/27/google_routing_blun....

But as we all know, NSA does store all traffic for future analysis. A BGP leak from China or Russia, be that as it may, almost surely has nothing to do with storing traffic.

Don't be daft. People said the same thing about the NSA sniffing traffic before Snowden, and big fucking surprise, it turned out to be true.

Nothing in Snowden's docs says that the NSA was collecting and storing all the traffic it could find for later analysis, which was GGP's unsupported claim.
