Not even that direct.
Given their three hop connection, even you are likely to be considered ‘connected’ to a terrorist.

Not sure you get my point. If terrorist A emails terrorist B and cc’s an American citizen (chosen at random, not a terrorist), then under this legislation, NSA would have to ignore the email since it involves an American.
If terrorist A places a call to terrorist B and announces at the beginning that another person, an american citizen, is also on the line. Can NSA listen in? Not under this legislation. In fact, all the terrorists would have to do is make this announcement even if an American is not involved since NSA could not prove it was not intercepting an American’s communications.
