Sen. Feingold Introduces "Total Info" Moratorium Bill
Sen. Russell Feingold (D-WI) has introduced legislation to place a moratorium on the development of the controversial Total Information Awareness (TIA) project. TIA is a system being developed by Admiral John Poindexter of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that aims to sift though troves of personal information in order to detect potential terrorist activity. Feingold's legislation would stop development of this domestic surveillance system until Congress has had an opportunity to review its implications. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) has also introduced legislation to halt the TIA project. :: This EPIC report is submitted for your mark of the beast (Rev 13:16-18) files on our brave new surveillance society.
