Anyone have a reference for how NSL's are estimated for the "hundreds of thousands" reference in this article?

It seems more like ~20-30k/yr at this point from my cursory search.

I interpret "hundreds of thousands" to imply 200k+ which made me think... dayum - that's a lot of fear.

20 to 30k / year times the number of years they are in use would easily get you there.
The author says "hundreds of thousands of letters issued each year"
