In reply to the discussion: EXCLUSIVE: Ordinary Web users far outnumber foreign targets in conversations intercepted by the NSA [View all]24601
(4,146 posts)41. The incompetence is on the part of the legitimate targets. Bad people should communicate only with
other bad people and should always limit their conversations to terrorism and other crimes. Then there would be no incidental collection and government analysts will be freed up from he task of minimizing the days to remove US identities.
Will you take it for action to ensure the bad dudes never call, email or discuss the innocent? If they are planning to attack a US person or facility - ask them to describe it as US person number 1 - or US Airline #1 and just provide date, time & location. That should really help the analytical challenge. Looking for a needle will be much easier if the needles are still there, but the haystacks are reduced in number and size.
Thank you for your cooperation and interest....
