How thin is the barrier between lawful collection and "accidentally" sucking up all the communication in the USA?

Seems like a major screwup like this is pretty normal for the NSA. Or at least they execute it with aplomb.

Personally with spooks - known serial liars I find it best to assume malice in every case - they knew exactly what they were doing and they are trying to use stupid human tricks involving holding authorities to lesser standards.

One doesn't just oopsie into the Statsi's wet dream and it should be regarded with the incredulity of someome claiming they "accidentally" molested an entire elementary school.
