Fruit of the Poisonous Tree

Todays No Morsel Too Minuscule for All Consuming N.S.A.  in the New York Times shows a build it because we can attitude gone wild.  If we are to believe the powers of six degrees of separation then this collection of  meta data ensnares every friend of a friend in any crime. I propose that since this information gathering is for our protection and not our prosecution that it be considered as Fruit of the Poisonous Tree in a legal defense. Every judge before issuing a warrant must ask and be assured in writing that the origin of the suspicion is not from this data.  In court an investigation tainted with this information can be summarily dismissed. Make the FBI and other law enforcement find anything originating from the NSA so poisonous that it destroys otherwise solid cases.
