In what one critic has called "a supersnoop's dream," the Defense Department's Total Information Awareness program would be authorized to collect every type of available public and private data in what the Pentagon describes as one "centralized grand database."Once again, I am not seeing this. I have seen nothing in the bill the provides the actual authorization to gather this information - instead, what I have seen is a proposal to develop the technology for such a system.
In which section do you see that proposal, I'm not seeing it.
