There's a difference between passively collecting and actively targeting.
- crazypyro 7y agoRight, but the switch is flipped from passive collection to active targeting in secret court hearings* and if they already have been passively collecting, you could go from no concern to being actively targeted without ever knowing. They couldn't do this if they weren't drag-netting. *FISA courts have 11 denied requests and over 34,000 approved.
- bongobongo 7y ago11 denied requests? Those prosecutors must have been sloppy. Usually you don’t see denials because prosecutors know well enough not to waste the court’s time.
