Something missed in this is that prior to the NSA, surveillance was an active thing. It's now a passive thing. Instead of saying "hey, let's go bug MLK's hotel room" the act is now "hey, let's parse MLK's cell phone recordings for the past three years and see if we can find anything." That's why everything but the last point - "law" - is moot. Yeah, the NSA can't really get into TOR now but only a fool plans based on the current capability of an organization with unlimited storage. And really, even the "law" part of it is moot, because the NSA is already in violation of their charter.
