@charlie_savage They've got the FAA collection, expanded to cover cyber, for domestic. So they only need the encrypted stuff overseas.

@emptywheel But FAA is targeted, not bulk, so incomplete for contact-chaining-link-analysis purposes viz hidden associates -
@charlie_savage The upstream FAA IS bulk. What it doesn't give you is 5 years retrospective, but you can search on any selector. -
@emptywheel You need retrospective for contact chaining to work though -
@charlie_savage Well, they've been doing upstream collection since 2008. So you have it. -
@emptywheel But need to *store* everything to have it retrospectively for link analysis. Upstream 702 (near) real-time filtering/discarding -
@charlie_savage True. But hey, they've got a LOT more storage of late. -
@emptywheel Plus using 702 data would keep them under FISC compliance headaches, so doesn't fit theory re motive for dropping PRTT program -
@charlie_savage To be clear, these aren't "compliance headaches." They are (weak) threat of criminal referral. - 4 more replies
