	EPIC Terrorism (Total) Information Awareness Page
		Congress has eliminated funding for the controversial Total Information Awareness (TIA) project and closed the Pentagon's Information Awareness Office, the entity that housed TIA and was formerly headed by Adm. John Poindexter.
		He defends the controversial Total Information Awareness program and cites the Privacy with Security (pdf) study as an example of his office's efforts to "protect the privacy of innocent people." That study was first released as a result of an FOIA lawsuit filed by EPIC.
		A Freedom of Information Act lawsuit [PDF] pursued by EPIC has led to the disclosure of 180 pages detailing the projects that were funded and rejected by the Office of Information Awareness, headed by John Poindexter.

	Information Awareness Office - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Information Awareness Office is a mass surveillance development branch of the United States Department of Defense's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
		DARPA changed the name of the "Total Information Awareness" program to "Terrorist Information Awareness" on May 20, 2003, emphasizing in its report to Congress that the program is not designed to compile dossiers on US citizens, but rather to gather information on terrorist networks.
		Government Information Awareness "acts as a framework for US citizens to construct and analyze a comprehensive database on our government".

		The logo of the Information Awareness Office does nothing to allay those concerns with its disturbing Orwellian imagery of the all-knowing eye scanning the globe.

		The Information Awareness Office has a number of ongoing projects to address the functional requirements of this vision, and we will be starting new projects to complete the picture.
		TIA will develop a modular system architecture using open standards that will enable a spiral development effort that will allow the insertion of new components when they are available.
		We believe that total information awareness is a very difficult problem and in the tradition of the very hard problems that DARPA has addressed in the past.

	EFF: Review of May 20 Report on Total Information Awareness
		Formerly "Total Information Awareness," TIA has been renamed "Terrorism Information Awareness." The renaming is intended to correct the impression "that TIA was a system to be used for developing dossiers on U.S. citizens." TIA's intent, DARPA says, is to "protect citizens by detecting and defeating foreign terrorist threats before an attack." Report, Executive Summary p.
		Information on all of these programs is available from EFF's TIA pages.
		TIA's most obvious purpose is to identify suspected terrorists (although, given the recent allegations about the use of the Homeland Security Department to track Democratic legislators in Texas, one should be concerned that TIA will be used for other purposes).

	Total Information Awareness - SourceWatch
		The IAO's stated mission is to gather as much information as possible about everyone in a centralized location for easy perusal by the United States government, including Internet activity, credit card purchase histories, airline ticket purchases, car rentals, medical records, educational transcripts, driver's licenses, utility bills, tax returns, and any other available data.
		In essence, the goal of the IAO is to be able to recreate a life history of thoughts and movements for any individual on the planet on demand, which the Bush administration deems necessary to counter the threat of terrorism.
		Also at issue is the integrity of Poindexter as head of the IAO, as he was convicted on five felony charges for lying to the Congress and deliberately altering and destroying documents pertaining to the Iran-Contra Affair.

	www.GovExec.com - Tech Insider: Total information unawareness (11/20/02)
		At issue is a project called the Total Information Awareness (TIA) system, run by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the research and development arm of the Pentagon that takes technologies in their prenatal stage and turns them into prototypes, usually over the course of three to four years per project.
		Unfortunately, almost nothing has been published describing what the TIA system is, and more importantly, what it isn't, so that citizens can make up their minds about whether this project is advisable or even feasible.
		The TIA system is also the top project in DARPA's new Information Awareness Office, which was formed in January to consolidate the numerous research and development projects the agency was already running in the areas of counter-terrorism and asymmetric warfare.

	Totally Clueless, by Justin Raimondo
		For if the illusion of "total awareness" becomes widespread, this can only foster a dangerous complacency — while the terrorists go around the fringes of society, and the innocent are caught up in the same system that strip-searches little old ladies at airports.
		Given "total information awareness" pre-9/11, analysts would have had to select out all Middle Easterners who had been granted visas to study aviation in the U.S. — but authorities never anticipated the form of the attacks, and were convinced the blow would be aimed at American facilities abroad.
		Consider the possible uses of "total information awareness" – intercepting email, wiretapping phone conversations, tracking every move of the computer mouse, each and every economic transaction – and consider all the really efficient uses to which such information could be put: flmail, thievery, economic regulation and tax collection come immediately to mind.

	Total Information Awareness for the Ages
		Yet even here, it's important to remember that such information, whether driver's license, Social Security or tax information, is mandated by numerous agencies for specific purposes--not general law enforcement--and should not be routinely combined for such purposes without a specific court order.
		If the TIA project ends up routinely requiring banks, airlines, hotels, Internet service providers, and other businesses to hand over such private information, it will undermine evolving commercial privacy standards, drive transactions underground, and make criminals out of ordinary people who simply want to be left alone.
		A massive TIA database will be an irresistible target for hackers who, based on the track record so far, will succeed in breaching it.

	InformationWeek > Privacy > Total Information Awareness Project Undergoes First Test > April 10, 2003
		Total Information Awareness, an experimental computer system being developed by Darpa under Vice Adm. John Poindexter, seeks to scan information about passport, visa, and work-permit applications, plus information about purchases of airline tickets, hotel rooms, over-the-counter drugs, and chemicals--both here and abroad--to discern "signature" patterns of terrorist behavior.
		TIA is designed to seek patterns that could indicate terrorist behavior while preserving people's anonymity, he adds.
		Dyer says the initial experiment data set, completed this month, could also consider relationships between purchases of certain chemicals, whether the buyer or a family member was involved in an activity such as farming that could explain a benign reason for the purchase, and where the purchase was made.

		The other is the Orwellian sounding Information Awareness Office, which will be engaged in a project aimed at "Total Information Awareness." Both are cause for concern.
		TIA envisions the creation of a huge, centralized national database of information gathered from existing government and commercial data banks.
		Yet to track everyone, information will have to be tagged to specific individuals - or, at least, specific "digital identities." Thus, while national ID card proposals have been rejected, we may have a computer-generated equivalent.

	No Orwellian Scheme Behind DARPA's Total Information Awareness System
		In fact, TIA is what the public, Congress and many in the policy community have rightly been demanding since 9/11, a methodology for putting the pieces of the terrorism puzzle together in order to prevent another 9/11 while respecting fundamental American civil liberties.
		Neither TIA nor its subcomponents are secret projects being developed in the nether world of the intelligence community to subvert democracy and civil liberty, but open projects which DARPA described in detail during its recent DARPA Tech symposium in Anaheim, CA.
		Information the system provides during the course of an investigation will also be user specific, so individual users can only access that information they have a need to see and filters are being developed to keep out irrelevant information.

		Information Awareness (TIA) program is to revolutionize the ability of the United States to detect, classify and identify foreign terrorists – and decipher their plans – and thereby enable the U.S. to take timely action to successfully preempt and defeat terrorist acts.
		The TIA program strategy is to integrate technologies developed by DARPA (and elsewhere as appropriate) into a series of increasingly powerful prototype systems that can be stress-tested in operationally relevant environments, using real-time feedback to refine concepts of operation and performance requirements down to the component level.
		Accordingly, the TIA program will work in close collaboration with one or more U.S. intelligence agencies that will provide operational guidance and technology evaluation, and act as TIA system transition partners.
