Uh. So. Are session keys "metadata"?
@BoloBoffin But did you see Clapper's library metaphor? http://www.nbcumv.com/mediavillage/networks/nbcnews/pressreleases?pr=contents/press-releases/2013/06/09/nbcnewsexclusiv1370799482417.xml … @normative

@emptywheel@normative Figuring out which book to pull would be the pattern analysis part. If Clapper's metaphor can go that far. -
@BoloBoffin He's not admitting to pattern analysis at all yet. Graham's confirmation came after this.@normative -
@emptywheel@BoloBoffin Graham DOES at least seem to be talking about fingerprinting for reidentification, not predictive analysis. -
@normative In his revised form, though.@BoloBoffin

@emptywheel@normative No, I had not. Thanks. Does Clapper intend that to be phone metadata only? That's all Mitchell seems to be saying. -
@BoloBoffin That was the context. But the phone metadata is the Dewey system to get to the 1s and 0s, no?@normative -
@emptywheel@normative Oh, I see, you're saying 1s and 0s are likely content. But the metadata would be stored that way, too, I think. -
@BoloBoffin That's what I thought at 1st. But note he talks abt stuff not being in particular order. Call metadata would be, no?@normative -
@emptywheel@normative So that would happen in Boundless Informant, right? As I understand it, that's where all NSA paths lead. -
@BoloBoffin@emptywheel Boundless is basically just a fancy spreadsheet. -
@normative@emptywheel I had visions of your phone pulling in Google, Facebook, Twitter accounts, and BI being where you link them. OK. -
@BoloBoffin@emptywheel As I understood the description, BI is just like a tally system; doesn't give you access to any databases. - 3 more replies

@emptywheel@normative Because following that metaphor, I would think "pulling" the book is connecting an identity to a phone number. -
@BoloBoffin Phone number or packets?@normative

@emptywheel@normative Of course, there's a reason Clapper's talking to Mitchell, but still...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
