Facebook has reported that they received 38,000 new secret requests for information on their users from Governments around the world in the first 6 months of 2013, with over 20,000 of those coming from the US government. Applying the standard NSA arithmetic, that is only 0.006% of the US population, nothing to worry about right? Applying my arithmetic, a new terror suspect that interests the US government pops up about every 15 - 20 minutes.
If you think that sounds reasonable, then no worry, but it looks like the standard NSA procedure of generating a haystack to obtain a needle to me.
