The 51% determination is one of the most ridiculous aspects of this.
1) 51% is a very low bar to meet
2) How detailed could this confidence algorithm be?
If a message is intercepted from overseas, and no other data is know, is there automatically at least 51% confidence that it is from a non-U.S. person? I'm sure other factors go into the calculation, but whatever factors they are, I'm sure a lot of American data is being sucked into this thing.
Given not only that Americans travel, but that VPNs are common, I find it very difficult to see how the NSA could be justified in conducting this sort of program within their "foreign-only" mandate.
