They're spying on everyone. Bush said Bin Laden was using a certain type of phone to communicate, and they changed in the late 90's. What advent of communicating broke through in the late 90's?

Bush said several times they used FISA for phone calls. But how exactly would they approach the court asking for permission to spy on everyone.
