Drug Agents Use Vast Phone Trove, Eclipsing N.S.A.’s
The scale and longevity of a data storage program run by the government in partnership with AT&T was unmatched by other government programs, including the National Security Agency’s gathering of phone call logs.
"In March 2013, for instance, Hemisphere found the new phone number and
location of a man who impersonated a general at a San Diego Navy base
and then ran over a Navy intelligence agent. A month earlier the program
helped catch a South Carolina woman who had made a series of bomb
threats.
And in Seattle in 2011, the document says, Hemisphere tracked drug
dealers who were rotating prepaid phones, leading to the seizure of 136
kilos of cocaine and $2.2 million."
