Leaving the USA will actually ensure the NSA collects a lot more about you. Staying will actually ensure they collect very little, mainly as a byproduct of the methods they use and not because of any nefarious plot.
I was more meaning to buy myself some time from the physical real-world tracking. We have no way of knowing what the NSA is actually storing on citizens. I have to assume it is everything and that doesn't seem outlandish in light of the Snowden leaks.
