It is interesting to reread the thoughts of Edward Snowden on security:

Either Ed, wasn't privy to all that the NSA were up to or they (the NSA) weren't into the collection of this type of metadata.

I get the feeling that we will see more of these accidential/unintentional leaks of metadata that permit inference about a person and their activities that they didn't intend to make public.
