Dave,
We reported on NFIP last September in an article, "Controversial Pentagon Program Scuttled, But Its Work Will Live On" <http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/WEBONLY/wonews/sep03/tia0903.html>. In it, we noted several of the places where TIA research might continue.
Regards,
Steven

U.S. Pressing for High-Tech Spy Tools
By MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON -- Despite an outcry over privacy implications, the government is pressing ahead with research to create powerful tools to mine millions of public and private records for information about terrorists.
Congress eliminated a Pentagon office that had been developing this terrorist-tracking technology because of fears it might ensnare innocent Americans.
Still, some projects from retired Adm. John Poindexter's Total Information Awareness effort were transferred to U.S. intelligence offices, congressional, federal and research officials told The Associated Press.
