DHS – Data mining not feasible and un-American

Since when has analysis like this stopped BushCo? Of course, this time, it’s coming from inside Homeland Security, in a massive 376-page report.

That said, too bad this didn’t come out before the FISA amendment vote.

That said, the Congressional examination will surely be structured in a way so as not to look at Congress’ role in this.

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.
