34k in the article? What is the 106k you use from? And the article doesn't state that from what I gather. But I'll reread.

106K is the number of foreigners' data they're searching in (actually smaller at FBI & CIA). SO Gmail, Yahoo, FB content of 106 people.

Nope. How many US citizens communications will be caught up in 106K full data streams?

Caught up, but again, how many are searched illegally without a warrant or unmasked? Usually only the gatherer has unmasked intel

FISC has approved these searches; they're considered legal but Congress may change that. But 5,000 USPs were searched on w/o a warrant.

That 5,000 is on top of the 4,000 times US person names in reports based off 702 were unmasked. Abt 74% of USPs in 702 report get unmasked.

4000 times names were unmasked? But that could be a few dozen people referenced a lot due to activity no?

And all the misspellings/alternate spellings/alt ids.

NSA automatically "correlates" IDs. So they'll say, "I want to target Sergey Kislyak" and database will spit out all known identifiers.
