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.

the search has ended? we're almost here now?
all we're supposed to do is take care of each other. & failing that (miserably?), we're just passing through trying to gain comfort from the illusionary trappings of man'kind'.
there's no need to confuse 'religion' with being a spiritual being. better days ahead.
