Re: NSA Domestic Spying/’New Technology’ question.
My limited understanding of what’s goin’ on tells me, tons (terrabytes ?) of data is scooped up, then I assume it is further electronically sifted – but at some point, doesn’t an analyst have to ‘look’ at it ?
a crudely crafted question, if I knew the proper question, I would know the answer, but if anyone gets the gist of my question and can answer, I’d appreciate it. thanks
