any nerd could make that up as they go along, it is mostly a bunch of jargons thrown together.
snooper does seem to know something about this subject, but its a shame they dont actually say anything meaningful or actually teach us something new instead of just mocking. and in the end it is just a footnote to the FISA docs that were leaked.
