Announces New Methods For Reporting National Security Requests
What could the terrorists (as if it's even remotely about them
anymore) glean from the exact numbers that they couldn't deduce
from rounded numbers? I.e. what state secret goes out the window
if we knew 1024 NSLs were sent to Google rather than 1000-2000?
This is what bugs me the most about petty pointless crap like
this. They graciously are "allowing" us to know the rough
numbers but give no justification for the added secrecy.

Sorry, but you're wrong with those numbers. If the police
stopped and searched 100 cars, and all 100 of those people were
breaking the law, they find 9 people who are breaking the law.
In reality you would have to stop 1000s of cars before you
caught 9 people breakin
