So you think you have Nothing to HIDE ?

57. The Data Archiving program,

...broad "warrants" from the Secret FISA Courts authorizing the collection and compiling data on law abiding citizens without probable cause,
is a small but significant part of the whole.

I actually posted almost the same OP at DU back in 2002 when Admiral Poindexter proposed the Total Information Awareness (TIA).

The Information Awareness Office (IAO) was established by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in January 2002 to bring together several DARPA projects focused on applying surveillance and information technology to track and monitor terrorists and other asymmetric threats to U.S. national security, by achieving Total Information Awareness (TIA).

Following public criticism that the development and deployment of this technology could potentially lead to a mass surveillance system, the IAO was defunded by Congress in 2003. However, several IAO projects continued to be funded, and merely run under different names.

If you are unable to see how these dots all connect,
that is not my problem.




You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their promises or excuses.
