I wonder. . .

. . . how all of this ties in with the TIA program: remember "Total Information Awareness", with the eye-in-the-pyramid logo? The government was pressured to "shelve" that program, only for hints to emerge later that its name was simply changed.

I persist in my belief that law enforcement and security intelligence should be obtained based on probable-cause and targeted, warranted, data-gathering programs. Allowing agencies that are free from meaningful oversight (yet another issue) to conduct fishing expeditions on the general public doesn't sit well with me.
