      Thanks to @EPICprivacy for its FOIA that revealed this document detailing an example of FBI agent searching section 702 data for information about a US person. https://epic.org/foia/epic-v-NSD/EPIC-17-05-15-NSD-FOIA-20180108-Production.pdf …

      Am I reading this right: the FBI agent searched the repository of 702 data for the words "hitting" and "abuse"? https://epic.org/foia/epic-v-NSD/EPIC-17-05-15-NSD-FOIA-20180108-Production.pdf … "Specifically, the analyst used as query terms the name of the US person suspect, the names of the USP children, "abuse," "hitting," and ..."

      If you search a repository of raw communications content of Americans' messages with foreign targets for "hitting" you are going to get stuff about baseball, dating.

      The FBI document says that the query returned no results other than the original email that tipped the investigator off to the child abuse. Given the generic nature of the query terms, that makes no sense.

      Assume it was a boolean search, not a series of independent ones. “Target Name" AND (“Hitting” or “Abuse”)

      Replying to @normative @EPICprivacy

      Here's what is says: "Specifically, the analyst used as query terms the name of the [suspect], the names of the USP children, "abuse," "hitting," and a compound query term designed to return any communications that included the word "abuse" & the name of one of the USP children."

      Pretty clear that those searches were not boolean.

      Not: abuse AND (Suzie OR Joe OR Ahmed)?
