Total Information Awareness

The Pentagon's super snoop "Total Information Awareness" program is back in business, just as we predicted it would be. Congress attempted to kill the ill-conceived DARPA program in 2003. But instead, the program, designed to somehow find terrorists from documenting everyone's credit card bills, car rental receipts and travel records, went underground and has now returned, bigger and stronger and worse than ever, Washington Times .
In 2006 the National Journal revealed that the NSA’s Advanced Research and Development Activity took over TIA and carried on the experimental network in late 2003. ARDA continued vetting new tools and even kept the aggressive experiment schedule. The National Journal reported that the program is now accessed by, among others: the NSA, the CIA, DIA, CENTCOM, the National Counterterorrism Center, the Guantanamo prison, and Special Operations Command (SOCOM). Big Brother is most definitely still watching. Enjoy watching your tax dollars at work watching you.
