I suspect that this entire thing is nonsense. It’s a ploy. First, it would never happen. Second, it would never be this public. Third, the mere mention of it has some benefit in making the terrorist think twice about communicating via the internet.

First, it would never happen.It has happened already, first documented under the Clinton administration. The now-retired early version of this was called 'CARNIVORE' but in all likelihood has been substantially improved since that 90's version was used to read emails and reconstruct web pages that targets were looking at.
And that was all way back in the pre-USA P.A.T.R.I.O.T. act days, back when you needed a silly warrant.
