In terms of the telephony data.
It's not really yours or personal, it'll show things like:
Number dialed, Time, date, duration, routing, costtype (local/international ect), and outcome (success/fail/engaged/abbandoned etc) original number is available but we anonomyse it.

From that information and some decent analysis you can probably work out where someone works, who they call the most, how long they take to speak to people and maybe if you've got enough time how many different people use the phone line.

That information is useful for me/us because we can use it to check how people are using the service and forecast demand and then get staffing right over the next few months making it a better service, no idea how that information could ever help finding a terrorist.

You could probably do some network analysis to find a terrorist cell
if they were stupid enough to all call each other using the same number every time and you knew at least one of them was a terrorist.

I learnt a lot by just watching The Wire, too.
I learnt that I think 'cult US cop dramas' are a tedious heap of shit.

So you watched it?

(socynicalsohip, Mon 10 Jun 2013, 12:32, Reply)

I was given a cast iron guarantee that it was brilliant
so I watched about three episodes and complained. I was then assured that I simply hadn't watched enough so I watched several more.

It was gash. My friend was telling me how amazingly realistic it was. My friend, the medical market researcher, married with two kids, who lives in suburban London and would be unlikely to find Baltimore on a fucking map, let alone comment on the accuracy of a drama set there.

Load of old toss.

cf the time I went to Cork, tried the Guinness - it was exactly the fucking same as in London.
Oh no, you have to have it in Dublin.

Then I got re-routed through Dublin - it was once again exactly the same.

tl:dr People talk shit
