Just because I mail a package to a customer does not give the govt the right to copy the contents of that package without a warrant.

Again, we are talking about metadata - i.e. not the contents.

The issue is that the NSA is using metadata (name of sender, address of package, date package is sent) to establish cause for obtaining a warrant in order to look at the contents.

Their act of providing this information without a warrant violates those contracts and agreements.

Read the fine print.

metadata my ass

They have the contents of everything if they want it. They have the balance of your bank account and where you’re spending your money.

And they are sharing it.

I did read the fine print. I have never given the US Govt or any of their lackies permission to access my computer systems.

Now we see how tyranny is accomplished. People like you welcome it in with open arms.
