Total "Terrorism" Information Awareness (TIA):
-very interesting, scary, and informative site
-2002, Total Informtaion Awarness: intended to detect terrorists through analyzing troves of information.
- TIA purported to capture the "information signature" of people so that the government could track potential terrorists and criminals
- called for the development of "revolutionary technology for ultra-large all-source information repositories,"
- develop data-mining or knowledge discovery tools that would sort through the massive amounts of information to find patterns and associations.
- development of biometric technology to enable the identification and tracking of individuals
- September 2003, Congress eliminated funding for the controversial project and closed the Pentagon's Information Awareness Office
-site includes news items, documents, and resources
No Place to Hide site:
-“ When you go to work, stop at the store, fly in a plane, or surf the web, you are being watched. They know where you live, the value of your home, the names of your friends and family, in some cases even what you read. Where the data revolution meets the needs of national security, there is no place to hide.”
- No Place To Hide: multimedia investigation by news organizations working together across print and broadcast platforms, to make a greater impact than any one organization could alone
-Interactive site with interviews, reviews, extended learning projects, links
-seems very validated by the sources which have reviewed them
Youtube Video:

I thought these sites were interesting, but nothing shocking. I think people need to realize their personal information is not personal,!
It almost sounds like an X-Files episode. They are watching.I am not opposed to promoting safety but am concerned about it going too far and people misusing it.
