I'm sure it is, but the issue is more complex than that.

How much data is stored on each person? How many hoops does an individual analyst have to jump through, if any, to access that information for an individual? Is it stored in an encrypted or anonymized way so that an analyst can't access the details without approval from management? Are there jobs constantly scanning this dataset and alerting on suspicious patterns, and if so, what is the average false positive rate and does an alert give carte blanche to read all of the data collected about that individual and their connections and connections-to-connections?

I doubt Congress will ever get clear or entirely truthful answers to those questions, let alone the general public.
