"A lot of the things they are doing are time-stamped down to the minute and second, so law enforcement is going to know what they were doing, where they were doing it and when they were doing it."
And don't forget, the NSA keeps EVERYTHING for at least 3 years, so people can be tracked backwards to see where they were and who they were with and what they were doing/saying at any given time over that period.
