@emptywheel 1. Presuming their answer will be terrorists learned bc Snowden to use secure comms. 2. I wondered about Jobs question y'dy. -

@emptywheel We don't know enough yet if the program could have prevented attack w/changes. Also, could be used today to find chains, right? -
@StevenTDennis W/changes? What? The dragnet covering France is the full dragnet. It doesn't get more dragnettery! -
@emptywheel More resources, etc. If you are trying to find needle in very large haystack, many more people looking through haystack. -
@StevenTDennis 1 Q might be KINDS of people. Arabic language still serves as quasi-encryption given limited # of translators. -
@emptywheel Yes. Also question is if terrorists have changed comms in react to knowledge of dragnet. Listening to wrong forest? -
@StevenTDennis Remember how terrorists learned to take batteries out? Drone strikes. Probably one of techniques used here. - 2 more replies
