I'm curious where the "samples" of location records came from. Does "relevance" now encompass "we need to run a software test"?

@emptywheel Though even then "running a format test" was probably never contemplated as a valid "foreign intelligence purpose"2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@normative As I noted yesterday, how can they say no one knows what's in 215 dragnet if NSA techs go in and take out telemarketing & pizza?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emptywheel You can do that automatically. I could run a filter using a known whitelist without manually opening the data.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@normative Except we know they do testing on the whitelist. (and they have to develop the whitelist.)1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emptywheel They can get the whitelist from the phone book. Just saying, nobody has to manually poke through every number to do that.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@normative No. But they do appear to do some significant poking pre-analysis, whether that's necessary or not.3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emptywheel And then program the system to recognize that fingerprint and ignore when it's chaining so you're not cluttering your graph1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@normative Yup. And that is probably how they do it.
Of course, if, as in the Marathon case, a pizza place is central, you're fucked.
