NSA admits it analyzes metadata out to 3 hops from targeted people. How many people do you need to target to reduce six degrees of separation to three?

NSA / 3-degree / privacy types, the search phrase you are looking for is "k-hop reachability".

Apology to all Flutterbarians: if Dan's travel and social reach hasn't lumped you within that 3 degrees, mine has. We do a lot of overseas business with people with funny names like: Ibrahim, Mustafa, Obama...
And for the record, most of them have been awesome decent people.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
