On the recordMay 20, 2015
I think it is a great question, and some are saying that through the backdoor of abusing 702, that if there were 90,000 people targeted last year through using this 702, that we collected the information on 900,000 individuals who were incidental and were not the target at all. So for every one byte of data we are collecting on somebody, we are collecting nine bytes of data on somebody who is not the target. But that becomes part of this enormous data center that we are building. And many of those people are Americans who were getting through the backdoor. But also why I am here today is I want the leadership to allow us to have our amendments. That is one of our amendments. That is a joint amendment we have worked on. We have been working on these things for months. This only comes up every 3 years. Should they not give us a day to have a vote on some of these amendments?
