    The alternative to the NSA model (computer-powered search of probabilities) is the TSA model of next, next, next. (6)

      @davidfrum The NSA model can be dodged via burner phones and a low profile. It won't catch a half-clever terrorist. So what's the point?

      @davidfrum The alternative to the NSA model is that we accept a small increase in personal risk in exchange for privacy.

      @davidfrum Lots of this seems to assume that US society needs to mobilize itself massively against the terror threat. Not sure if necessary

      @davidfrum that is one alternative. Another alternative would be to do police work w/ warrants.

      @davidfrum That strikes me as a false choice. Could NSA investigations not occur in a manner consistent with 4th Amend? Don't see either-or.

      @davidfrum wrong again Frum. The alternative is full liberty to the people, and restoring the Constitutional restrictions on the state.
