Other companies such as Internet Service Providers and cellular services have said they wouldn't turn over this info to the NSA without a warrant- but Aid is not buying it.

"I'll tell you where this story probably will go next," Aid tells Salon.com's Kim Zetter today. "Notice the USA Today article (which broke the story last week) doesn't mention whether the Internet service providers or cellphone providers or companies operating transatlantic cables like Global Crossing cooperated with the NSA. That's the next round of revelations."

Aid implied that if and when one of these companies 'fess up, the you-know-what will really hit the fan.

"The real vulnerabilities for the NSA are the companies," Aid said. "Sooner or later one of these companies, fearing the inevitable lawsuit from the ACLU, is going to admit what it did, and the whole thing is going to come tumbling down."
