The Washington Post has published an article about the government's use of surveillance, and the absence of judicial oversight of its use.
Emergency foreign intelligence warrants -- John Ashcroft has signed over 170 of them -- allow wiretaps and physical searches, and "can be enforced for 72 hours before they are subject to review and approval by the ultra-secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court." National security letters demand that businesses release electronic archives that contain information about finances, phone calls, emails, etc.
Evidently, these government practices are not conducted under a unifying organizational rubric: the article says nothing about Total Information Awareness.
