The EFF has launched a new online search tool that will allow people to search through their treasure trove of documents that they have garnered through Freedom of Information Act requests.
From EFF:
EFF’s document collection — obtained through requests and litigation under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) — casts light on several controversial government initiatives, including the FBI’s Investigative Data Warehouse and DCS 3000 surveillance program, and the Department of Homeland Security’s Automated Targeting System and ADVISE data-mining project. The documents also provide details on Justice Department collection of communications routing data, Pentagon monitoring of soldiers’ blogs, mismatches in the Terrorist Screening Center’s watchlist, and FBI misuse of its national security letter subpoena authority.
The new search capability enables visitors to EFF’s website to conduct keyword searches across the universe of government documents obtained by EFF, maximizing the value of the material.
Here is a screen cap of the search interface. Strangely that search term only returned 4 hits.
I gave it a whirl with limited results. Must have been my search queries.
