@normative Sure. Al Qaeda = selection term. Selector "based on" that is "all phone calls from Yemen."
@normative No! "Basis for" is always interpretation. I'd be happy if it said "selector" used as such, which is how you're reinterpreted it.

@emptywheel The results of the first production are a series of phone numbers used as the "basis for" round two -
@normative One reason it prolly says that is bc of the way it correlates across identifiers. Phone number > All smart phone activities > etc -
@emptywheel There's also, at this point, a legislative track record that should make it hard for the FISC to twist it that way. -
@normative Again EVERY SINGLE TIME anyone today said "bulk collection" today they adopted IC definition, not plain English one. -
@emptywheel well, the intuitive sense of "bulk" is regrettably hard to operationalize. I'd also rather they did it by restricting "relevant" -
@normative But it is undeniable HJC adopted IC definition for bulk, explicitly, bc that is what they used: selector =/= bulk. -
@emptywheel Yeah, though for the phone records at least there's a RAS requirement that each term be "associated with" an AFP -
@normative Absolutely agree. And if they don't get the high volume numbers right that could mean 17% of all Americans off a 2 hop query. - 2 more replies

@normative I agree w/@emptywheel Selector interpreted as relevant term for reason behind collection/access. Not just target. Think bulkier - 1 more reply
