@normative I think that's one reason Wyden keeps hinting that all this began earlier. Structure = Cheney's program, no?1 reply 1 retweet 0 likes -

@emptywheel@normative It did begin earlier. See the 2009 NSA IG report from Snowden, which Wyden can't address bc not declassified.4 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

Also the Internet metadata program relied on 50 USC §1842 from June 2004 until it was shut in 2011, right?

@charlie_savage@emptywheel Yeah, though as I understand it that's pretty flexible--the "device" can be a piece of code.2 replies 1 retweet 0 likes
@normative @charlie_savage @emptywheel Fun fact: in Title 18 pen/trap statute, Patriot Act changed "device" to "device or process" passim.
