That's not how the warrantless system works.

It samples a percentage of all international calls with one termination
point in the USA.

It listens for familiar voices, key words, and other currently unknown
metrics to determine whether or not the call is of interest. This in and of
itself is a violation of the 4th amendment. This is akin to police randomly
coming to your home, poking around inside, and figuring out if you have any
Islamist Arabs hanging out inside.

This is BEFORE the call is handed off for deeper monitoring and analysis.



Good thing that is not at all what is being addressed here.. I watched
todays press conference and again it was stated that all these calls
originated or
ended on forein soil with KNOWN al-queida operatives, terrorists, or those
officially suspected of aiding them. There is NOT sampling of calls randomly
going on.
