Monitor Phone Traffic
Judge Roger Vinson authorized the NSA on April 25 to obtain unlimited data for a three-month period from Verizon. While phone calls themselves were not monitored under the terms of the court order, related metadata were. The data Verizon handed over to the NSA covered both domestic and international phone activity going through their network.
The kicker, however, is that circumstantial evidence implies the NSA has been monitoring Verizon phone calls in bulk for years. Evidence in on-the-record court orders, found by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), found that mass communications spying had been taking place for at least seven years. This spying also includes AT&T landline and mobile customers, and could include customers of all major telecommunications providers.

Talking about traffic. I'm Bob Hirshon and this is Science Update. Bad traffic's no longer a problem relegated to major metropolitan areas. Even commuters in smaller cities now face long traffic delays. Unfortunately, the complicated technology used by big cities to monitor traffic flow is expensive, putting it out of the reach of most local governments. But Bill Knee of the National Transportation Research Center at Oak Ridge National Lab believes that the ubiquitous cell phone can change that. He and his colleagues are testing a system that uses cell phone signals to monitor traffic flow. Knee: A phone has to self-orient itself occasionally with, with cell towers. And so, with that information, in seeing how a phone travels through a particular zone, and averaging a large number of these phones, you can pretty much get an estimate of travel time. That information's fed into a computer, where it's processed to interpret how traffic's moving on major roads. The complete system includes improved traffic cameras and will be tested in Knoxville over the next year. Knee says the system should spot accidents and predict traffic jams in stretches of road as short as a quarter of a mile. For the American Association for the Advancement of Science, I'm Bob Hirshon.
This information can be shared by Internet providers as well. In 2012, a California romance novelist found out through court records that her Internet provider had been sharing her online activity with the NSA.
For Android phones: tPacketCapture uses the Android VPN service to intercept packets and capture them. I have used this app successfully, but it also seems to affect the performance with large traffic volumes (eg video streaming)

A lot. Just ask John McAfee. McAfee, the colorful anti-virus software pioneer, quit corporate life to move to Belize and start a harem, and embark on a second career that may or may not have included drug manufacturing and serious crimes. After McAfee was labeled as a “person of interest” by Belize authorities in the death of his neighbor, he went on the lam with a team from Vice. A photographer with Vice took a picture of McAfee and apparently forgot to scrub the metadata.
The secret court record that The Guardian got their hands on comes from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), a “special court” established by Congress in 1978 to review applications for warrants related to national security investigations. In short, the job of the FISC is to approve secret search warrants for the NSA and other intelligence agencies.
