You raise a good point. How will the respondents prove that their communications have been intercepted? It is my understanding that Congress (a couple of reps) sent a letter to the DOJ asking how many Americans have had their communications intercepted under FISA and the DOJ responded that to answer that question would violate the privacy of those citizens.

IOW enough to cause a major backlash politically if it were known. I'm guessing that it's 30% or more -- though even 10% would be disturbing.
