Everything You Need to Know About DNS AttacksIt's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask.
Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted.
Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic

Your comment is the kind mindless fear mongering I'm talking about. What makes you think they wouldn't have satellite images of the accident anyway? Or street cameras? I think going to cell logs is the last thing you have to worry about.
One last point, maybe you should research what the NSA does. Investigating crime, even murder, is not their function. Do you have evidence the local police can subpoena these records for crime investigations? Of course you don't, because you can't do it. You do understand what "classified" access is, right?
All this said, as I clearly said in my first post, I don't think this is constitutional. And on news last night the first judge agrees with that stance. We'll see how appeals process plays out.
My point stands, unless you truely are a terrorist, or hang out with them, the NSA is nothing that should concern you.
