The Chronology So Far: 1. Act One: DOD/TIA deletes bios from its site (http://www.politechbot.com/p-04262.html) 2. Act Two: DOD/TIA deletes logo and slogan from its site (http://www.politechbot.com/p-04262.html) 3. Act Three: DOD/TIA deletes STILL MORE documents from its site. Here are the fairly detailed "before" images of how the Total Information Awareness system operates: http://www.epic.org/events/tia_briefing/tia_screenshot.gif http://www.epic.org/events/tia_briefing/tia_categories.gif And here's the single, far less detailed "after" image: http://www.darpa.mil/iao/images/TIA_graphic.gif http://www.politechbot.com/docs/tia.replacement.graphic.010302.jpg (mirror) Also, let's not forget: 4. TSA deletes documents from its site (http://www.politechbot.com/p-04279.html) 5. FEMA deletes documents from its site (http://www.politechbot.com/p-04173.html) On another note, if you had to speculate about what TIA would encompass in say, three to five years, what kind of information would be included? Mandatory GPS in cars? Mandatory chips in humans? -Declan --- Subject: Modification of DARPA TIA website continues (again): Chart replaced To: declanat_private From: "Thomas A Giovanetti" <tomgat_private> Date: Mon, 30 Dec 2002 23:22:21 -0600 The original TIA chart has been replaced by one that is certainly less-ominous and less-detailed. The lists of all the various types of data has been removed, and they have put in cute little red thingies to assure us that our privacy will be protected. <G> _____ Tom Giovanetti President Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI) http://www.ipi.org tomgat_private -- To: webmaster-iaoat_private Cc: declanat_private Subject: Cute changes From: "Thomas A Giovanetti" <tomgat_private> Date: Mon, 30 Dec 2002 23:24:13 -0600 You guys are so cute! Nice going replacing the logo and chart, and all the personnel bios. I especially love the little red thingies that assure us that our privacy will be protected. Way to go! _______ Tom Giovanetti President Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI) http://www.ipi.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
