Ok lets assume you're right and the US manages to splice into fiber optic cables in the country they target and for some absurd reason no human being ever checks the fiber optic cables which are easily accessible over land how would they send all that data back for processing?
Or if they do it locally how the hell do they get all that equipment in without being noticed?
When you're doing surveillance in a foreign country you can't be extravagant you have to choose your targets carefully.
I'm against mass surveillance for the hell of it I know there will always be a certain degree of surveillance i just want them out of average peoples lives they have no business being there.

I don't recall ever saying anything about the US managing to splice into fiber optic cables, or any other particular mechanism of gathering signals intelligence.
Or if they do it locally how the hell do they get all that equipment in without being noticed?
