The Wall Street Journal has an article detailing how the Paris attackers operated out in the open, using their own names, credit cards and drivers licenses. Even more absurd the leader was interviewed for a Terrorist of the Month profile piece in ISIS's english language magazine bragging that he had stockpiled weapons in preparation for an attack.

Combined with the evidence that they communicated over unencrypted SMS the evidence is pretty damning that the surveillance state is in the hands of the Keystone Kops.

    Well, if they aren't watching who's on the cover of the magazine why would they be watching who's subscribed? : P

    It's obvious, really. The USA intelligence officials have stated multiple times that they only collect meta-data, not the contents.

    Recipients are meta-data: collected.

    Magazine cover is content: not collected.
