NSA revised TIA program, Carnivore

The National Security Agency has been ignoring the shreds of surveillance law that still exist, including essentially running the Total Information Awareness Program, a successor to the FBI’s Carnivore and more.

Now, the NSA supposedly, on e-mail, can’t read the e-mail itself. But, it can collect all the data from the e-mail, such as time sent, source, destination, and keep that on file, and do who knows what. If it sees a pattern, then, via Terrorist Surveillance Program, it can eavesdrop.

So word on this from Silvestre Reyes, still pushing for a telco immunity deal.
