1) FISA Section 702 is premised on provider assistance 2) The part the judge reviews is divorced from the orders the govt sends to providers 3) I wrote based on reverse engineering Wyden, other reporters now trying to confirm, at which point it'll get bigger

"Provider assistance" is that based on a request or a demand?

They're called "Directives." They're limited to certain uses and targeting practices, but court doesn't review the actual directives.

My GUESS is NSA will send a list of Apple numbers and say, give us the iTunes synch from those phones on daily basis. But that's a total WAG. It's why I think they added PW to "trust this computer."

Doesn't iCloud backups do some really secure crypto with TPMs both in the Apple servers and consumer device and such though?

My expertise is hacking documents. Someone who hacks phones would have to explain how the tech side works.
