It gets better! NSA doesn't even have the data, and has to ask for it from the FBI Recursion Jun 2013 #19

Look at the latest release of slides...they specifically note content which comes from the FBI dkf Jun 2013 #20

Slide two specifically says *all* of it comes from the FBI Recursion Jun 2013 #21

The NSA processes content that is captured by the FBI. dkf Jun 2013 #23

My guess is that the FBI, CIA, NSA, etc. will gather as much data as they think they rhett o rick Jun 2013 #50

They ignore the elephant in the room...the data collection. dkf Jun 2013 #52

What do you think "Stored Content" is? hootinholler Jun 2013 #25

This is the classified slide that was leaked. You're calling that a "press release" Recursion Jun 2013 #10

It's one broad description of what is claimed to be "the" process. Orsino Jul 2013 #67

People were willing to believe other things from PP charts by the organization frazzled Jun 2013 #57

So how did he get all the information he is leaking? Lol. dkf Jun 2013 #9

The slides? They're probably an orientation presentation Recursion Jun 2013 #11

looks like we got some crack spies right here on DU! Whisp Jun 2013 #16

All those docs marked top secret? Nothing? dkf Jun 2013 #17

That would be interesting, though I doubt he had access to them Recursion Jun 2013 #18

He specifically said the access to the raw sigint is where you have access to it all. dkf Jun 2013 #22

So why release a slide that says the opposite? (nt) Recursion Jun 2013 #26

If you aren't offended by the collection you should at least be appalled over the lack of security dkf Jun 2013 #40

This slide. right here. the one i posted Recursion Jun 2013 #32

The scandal is the collection. I thought that was the NSA but apparently it's the FBI... dkf Jun 2013 #36

The collection requires three stages of approval! Recursion Jun 2013 #37

No no no. The collection is on the left side of slide 2 from the vendors. dkf Jun 2013 #42

A link to the accompanying article would be nice. n/t Skip Intro Jun 2013 #14

Good point Recursion Jun 2013 #15

I was under the impression that Snowden was not just an "analyst"... kentuck Jun 2013 #28

But this slide shows the NSA doesn't even collect or keep the data Recursion Jun 2013 #29

I think it may be the opposite? kentuck Jun 2013 #38

The slide says FBI does all collection Recursion Jun 2013 #48

And why should we believe that? nt Zorra Jun 2013 #55

Because it's what Snowden leaked? Recursion Jun 2013 #56

You're missing a set of important steps and pieces here that make a mash of your hypothesis: leveymg Jul 2013 #58

Was Snowden capable of manipulating the predictive profile score? Recursion Jul 2013 #59

The analyst makes an assessment based in part on the initial predictive score along with leveymg Jul 2013 #60

I'm thinking of two specific claims Recursion Jul 2013 #61

I'll look at those. Thnx. leveymg Jul 2013 #62

So the claim is that a bad actor could have a loophole to bypass some of the safeguards? Recursion Jul 2013 #63
