He just mentioned under 702 they DO get content, but it "can only be used against non-US citizens and on non-US soil"... So.. how do you confirm that if all you have is metadata?

From the reports, it seems like they have some kind of bayesian system based on metadata which has to output non-us-citizen at more than 0.51 probability.

Which doesn't really make me feel better.

I hate this heat-map shit. I run an Tor exit node and a public wifi access point in my neighborhood. I encrypt all my drives. I use PGP. I have four cell phones because I do cellphone development. I bitcoin mine, and made a pile of money in the bubble, which I transferred in multiple thousand-dollar increments from a foreign bank to mine, to stay under my mtgox daily limit. I donated to Ron Paul once. I closed my Facebook account.

I haven't done anything wrong or illegal, but there is no way I'm not a big red flag on their map.
