Everything is already monitored and recorded, yes. The state just has no official authority to act upon a majority of the information they obtain...yet. This starts the ball rolling on sharing this information outside of intelligence agencies.

That's what 5 eyes is all about. A government isn't allowed to spy on it's own people. However, allies are free to spy on allies citizens, and of they happen to find something.... well it may just find it's way across the pond to the proper authorities.
