@normative Not for PRTT at least. It is the basis "for selecting" the telephone lines (that is, selectors) that will be used.

@emptywheel I think that's a mistake. The phone line is not the selector. The selector specifies the phone line.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@normative Sure. Al Qaeda = selection term. Selector "based on" that is "all phone calls from Yemen."3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emptywheel The "selection term" is what is included in the order to "describe the tangible things to be produced".1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@normative Just like "al Qaeda" is included in every existing phone dragnet order and has been for 8 years. Exactly!1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@emptywheel But "Al Qaeda" in those orders is not a selection term, it's a target. It is not the "basis for production"1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@normative I know you WANT this to be selector, not selection term. If bill said that, arg would be right. Not what bill says.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emptywheel in the current orders, "Al Qaeda" is not the "basis for production" & doesn't ID the tangible things to be produced.3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@normative Moreover, the bill doesn't say the selection term is the basis for production. It says it the basis for 'selecting."2 replies 2 retweets 0 likes -

@emptywheel On the model you're positing the "selection term" would not describe the records to be produced, some other derivative ID would2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@normative Yes! Which is precisely how 1) grammar of bill works (for PRTT at least) 2) known use of the jargon does!
