Total Information Awareness Project Undergoes First Test

According to Lt. Col. Doug Dyer, a program manager at the DoD's Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and a leading member of the
controversial Total Information Awareness (TIA) program, the first set of
test data for the project was completed in April 2003. TIA seeks to
identify potential patterns of terrorist activity by scanning government
and private databases. The program has been widely criticized for
jeopardizing personal privacy rights, but Mr. Dyer insists that "Americans
must trade some privacy for security" in the post-September 11 environment.
He added that private information will not be unnecessarily accessed and
people's anonymity will be preserved.
