-------------------------------------------

(7:46:27 AM) bradass87: and FISA actually does come in very handy

(7:46:46 AM) bradass87: though, its frequently overlooked

(7:47:36 AM) bradass87: i.e.: they’ll collect signal information, to refine other intel sources and try to collect evidence…

(7:47:57 AM) bradass87: erasing the signal data

(7:48:11 AM) bradass87: since its not legally “evidence”

(7:49:38 AM) bradass87: and yes, illegal wiretaps are used in coordination between NSA and FBI… though its not seen as illegal, because often the data is only used to give leads

------------------------------------------------

(7:35:37 AM) bradass87: other person knows a lot about phones… how to tap cellular phones (its his job, after all)

(7:35:56 AM) bradass87: PROPHET team

(7:36:22 AM) bradass87: http://www.globalsecurity.org/intell/systems/prophet.htm

(7:36:47 AM) info@adrianlamo.com: Can they do CDMA or GSM over-the-air vs. at the switch?

(7:37:07 AM) bradass87: both

(7:37:16 AM) bradass87: v3 as well

(7:37:48 AM) bradass87: over-the-air and at switches and towers…

(7:38:06 AM) bradass87: redundancy for locational refinement

(7:38:14 AM) info@adrianlamo.com: I assume the same could be done in the U.S.

---------------------------------

(7:40:56 AM) bradass87: i know that approximately 85-90% of global transmissions are sifted through by NSA… but vast majority is noise… so its getting harder and harder for them to track anything down…

(7:41:31 AM) bradass87: its like finding a needle in a haystack…
