Sorry CSIS, I only clicked in this tread by accident. I was just trying to get to the funny pictures thread. I'm not a terrorist like the rest of these posters.

Psssst, check out Hulkrogan. He Bings. If that is not terrorist activities I don't know what is.

Maybe, just maybe, we can entertain the possibility that our government isn't out to get us all the time.

Well they aren't out to get us, I am pretty sure.

Doesn't mean they don't have the capability to see things like this.

I remember my mom having a pressure cooker when I was a kid, but I've never cooked with one.

As a guy with absolutely no culinary skills, what is a pressure cooker good for cooking?

Anything that typically needs a long slow braise to make it tender. Use the pressure cooker to speed up the process. Exactly what? Infidels most definitely.

Chicken.

A true believer in the sarcasm would have used p 0 t u s in the post.

And yes, I am a chicken as well...

What a waste of anyone's time and resources. The people responsible for sifting through all this crap must have their eyes pried open 'A Clockwork Orange' style.

It doesn't take massive resources, really. All it would take is one nerd writing a decent algorithm that scans the scads of data Google has on you.

Fortunately, if CSIS is watching me, all they would learn is that I like porn and hockey history, and hate the Canucks.

I was planning on bringing a bomb into the White House, but I don't have a portable DVD player to watch The Lone Ranger while I'm there.

Oh no... More pressure cookers and backpacks collide.



These two threads are too close together.

It's a bit more complex than that, but essentially you are right.

The XKeyScore / PRISM programs involves the raw data being captured upstream of these providers being fed into a huge buffer of about 6 hours worth of information. But this data isn't just lists of emails, it is just giant blobs of data that needs to have the packets all assembled again and then interpretation by many custom readers into a format that is meaningful, ie an email, web page, video file etc.

Then those items are indexed and can be queried by an agent who is looking for certain things - like people who are apparently googling pressure cookers and backpacks.

On top of that, any encrypted traffic can either be cracked at enormous computational cost, or stored in a huge data center in Utah until such time as the SSL keys expire and the provider can be legally obliged to provide them by the courts.

So it isn't simple, and the backend is a massive software engineering project that is running at something like 140 sites worldwide.
