EFF's Tien on DARPA's TIA Report

scubacuda writes "Lee Tien, EFF's Senior Staff Attorney, critically looks at DARPA's 'Report to Congress regarding the Terrorism Information Awareness Program.' Tien considered the report a major disappointment. 'The government had an opportunity to open public discourse about TIA; for the most part, it chose to hide behind broad and vague generalities.' The 'report's discussion of privacy is too limited.' It 'ignores problems in existing privacy laws,' and 'gives short shrift to other civil liberty issues.'"
