Is this bill anything even related to DARPA and TIA? Anyone here heard of the TIA program before? Well if you seen the sci-fi movie in which Tom Cruise goes and arrest people even before they do their crime. Basically that is what the TIA hopes to become in the future within DARPA.
I think AssCroft decided to reword the name of the act (Patriot act) to give it a better chance of passing thru congress. Just by reading the name a Senator or Representative is most likely to think that it has something to do with the war and might give it the stamp of approval. I wouldn't be surprised if that happens. Maybe Hawaii's opensource community can try to pass an opensource bill thru the legislature by calling it the State Legislature Pay Raise act.
