TrapWire

Every few seconds, data picked up at surveillance points in major cities and landmarks across the United States are recorded digitally on the spot, then encrypted and instantaneously delivered to a fortified central database center at an undisclosed location to be aggregated with other intelligence. It’s part of a program called TrapWire and it's the brainchild of the Abraxas, a Northern Virginia company staffed with elite from America’s intelligence community. The employee roster at Arbaxas reads like a who’s who of agents once with the Pentagon, CIA and other government entities.

True. But a lot of this stuff is being done in the "public" that isn't necessarily a true privacy issue. It's going to be interesting.

True that. I think the first step is to haul it all out in the light of day.

True, but people in power never voluntarily give up something they already have.

To do this, the media has to play along, and all you'll get is a big "so what" from the big players

Saw that WikiLeaks was subjected to a massive denial of service attack after releasing the Trapwire info.
