1. He provided his phone number for the NSA to search, a piece of information that they do retain and almost certainly have collected.

2. Not bloggers, just American families: http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national/2013/08/government-k...

3. All information gleaned from the NSA is real information, and you don't send it to the public relations department. Instead it is an actual department set up to handle these requests from the public who wishes to know what their government is doing.

1. What does that prove? That the metadata for your phone number is collected?

2. Except that wasn't true, it was the former employer: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/08/pressure-cooker/

3. FOIA requests get processed by the same people under the Chief Public Liaison Officer.
