Everyone remembers Operation TIPS, right -- the citizen-informant program? Some background: http://www.politechbot.com/p-03894.html A detailed webpage about TIPS used to be here: http://www.citizencorps.gov/tips.html It's been mysteriously deleted. I've copied it from Google's cache and mirrored it here: http://www.politechbot.com/docs/tips.deleted.112002.html I wonder if the case of the disappearing TIPS has anything to do with the Department of Homeland Security bill: http://www.house.gov/rules/homeland.pdf >SEC. 880. PROHIBITION OF THE TERRORISM INFORMATION AND PREVENTION SYSTEM. >Any and all activities of the Federal Government to >implement the proposed component program of the Citizen >Corps known as Operation TIPS (Terrorism Information >and Prevention System) are hereby prohibited. -Declan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
