EFF Unveils Search Tool for FOIA Results
The EFF has released a beta version of a new search tool that lets you mine the documents the EFF has unearthed using FOIA requests and lawsuits over the years. Quoting: "In celebration of Sunshine Week, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today launched a sophisticated search tool that allows the public to closely examine thousands of pages of documents the organization has pried loose from secretive government agencies. The documents relate to a wide range of cutting-edge technology issues and government policies that affect civil liberties and personal privacy." I tried a search for "border" among the documents relating to the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement and turned up 21 results and fascinating reading.
Google does not search the whole internet.

Just scanned through some and yes, that's it. More frustrating are email discussion where all emails are included, each time with the whole email they answer to, while sender and recipients are blacked out. The information here is : so these two guys discussed about another guys' problem, they looked a bit concerned. Could be anyone, slashdot readers, governments officials, ambassadors, we don't know. Useless 100 pages block of paper.
