the actual searching and selection of
intercepted messages has already occurred - in the Dictionary computers at
the New Zealand and overseas stations.
This is an enormous mass of material - literally all the business, government
and personal messages that the station catches.
The computers automatically search through everything as it arrives at the
station.
This is the work of the Dictionary program.
It reads every word and number in every single incoming message and picks out
all the ones containing target keywords and numbers.
Thousands of simultaneous messages are read in 'real time' as they pour into
the station, hour after hour, day after day, as the computer finds
intelligence needles in the telecommunications haystack.
Telephone calls containing keywords are automatically extracted from the
masses of other calls and digitally recorded to be listened to by analysts
back in the agency headquarters.
The implications of this capability are immense.
The UKUSA agencies can use machines to search through all the telephone calls
in the world, just as they do for written messages.
It has nothing to do with whether someone is deliberately tapping your phone,
simply whether you say a keyword or combination of keywords that is of
interest to one of the UKUSA agencies.
