You might be right, but that would be a darn weak protective/preventive measure.

No, because a pattern of communication would present the probable cause necessary for a more (rightly) intrusive monitoring program against suspect individuals and organizations using a FISA warrant.

Again I say, you may be right. I was imagining a person avoiding the creation of any pattern, generally by staying quiet. A sleeper, if you will. If it takes one or two coded contacts to initiate pre-planned action, then waiting for a pattern will not result in prevention.

If I am charged with preventing attacks, I want the contents of the communications.
