Comment on NSA Interception Infographic

Comments

1.7 billion per day is a fraction of US texts and phone calls. Rough numbers I can find are:

  * 5B texts / day
  * 3B phone calls / day
(better numbers appreciated)

I would have expected the fraction to be either less than 1% (because they're targeting intelligently) or more than 95% (because they store almost everything).
