3 Hops (Kontaktstufen) Explanation: According to declassified documents, the NSA operates under a rote legal procedure for querying domestic phone metadata. The agency begins by identifying a “seed” number, with reasonable and articulable suspicion of terrorist activity.1 Next, the NSA has discretion to follow up to three degrees of calling separation (“hops”).2 The NSA is authorized to retrieve a complete set of phone records at each hop, and just one call in the past five years appears sufficient to make a hop - see http://webpolicy.org/2013/12/09/metaphone-the-nsa-three-hop/ "If the average person calls 40 unique people, three-hop analysis could allow the government to mine the records of 2.5 million Americans when investigating one suspected terrorist." - see http://nationalinterest.org/commentary/nsa-three-hops-youre-... Vorratsdatenspeicherung: Zudem sollen die sogenannten Hops, also die Anzahl der Kontaktstufen zwischen einem Verdächtigen und dessen Umfeld, von drei auf zwei reduziert werden. - http://www.golem.de/news/vorratsdatenspeicherung-snowden-sie... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs (2016-05-09 00:01:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- According to declassified documents, the NSA operates under a rote legal procedure for querying domestic phone metadata.

Many observers have been deeply critical of this reach. By some estimates, a single seed number could establish authority to query phone records for thousands of Americans. Other estimates have counted into the millions. - see http://webpolicy.org/2013/12/09/metaphone-the-nsa-three-hop/ Die Legendenbeschreibung: stage = Stufe: seed = Ausgangskontakt- hop 1 / 2 / 3 = Kontaktstufen |
