Use any of the 377 key words the NSA check for alongside Allua hakba in the email title, find a Muslim person on FB and add them to your list, constantly talk about middle eastern issues using derogatory comments about western views to Islam etc... Do this on all social networks, you your friends and family and if enough people did this it would completely F up there attempts to monitor anyone realistically as they would simply not have the resources to cope.
A few thousand snoopers can't deal with billions of pissed off users!

There's emacs M-x spook which does pretty much that, and has been there since I was in college in the late '80s.
It's sad that at the time "oh all the internet traffic goes through one NSA building" was considered a cynical joke.
A friend of mine's grandparents immigrated to the US from Pakistan several decades ago (Funny enough, to get as far away from the Taliban and Al-Qaeda as possible), but he has never been to the middle east and rarely posts anything about his religion or even issue going on in the Middle East.
I, on the other hand, regularly travel to the middle east, associate with people that have ties to terror organizations, and I've read every single issue of 'Inspire Magazine' as well as seen all of IS's propaganda. I volunteer for an organization that helps out in Muslim communities to help people that might otherwise turn to terror networks for support and a feeling of belonging.
I'm so white that I have to be careful around 60 W bulbs or else risk getting a bad sun burn. My friend, on the other hand, wears the traditional clothing and is most definitely descended from a long line of Pakistanis. I'll give you exactly one guess as to who of us is on the government's watch-lists and is constantly being stopped at the airport for questioning.
The imposition of restrictions on the transfer of such data would have potentially considerable adverse effects on EU-US commerce and could affect US companies significantly.
Sorry Judge, that problem is not yours to consider or worry about. Is what they are doing within the law or not, that is and should be your only concern. Another fucking lap-dog.
The BSA was included due to the fact that its members include Apple, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Oracle and others, and so can "offer relevant views which might otherwise not be available to the court."
Has this judge never read The Lord of the Rings?
