As much as I chagrin over alot of political agenda's and goings on in the ole U.S. of A, I have to give kudos to Congress when they actually pull through and squash an act that's totally out of control. Maybe someone can shed some light on this being a front for some other program they are going to pass under the table, but it seems that the Total Information Awareness program has seen it's last day. Apparently enough people agreed that collecting every bit of information about us (including every transaction, email, etc.) was a bit of a "cannibalization of civil liberties." Way to represent the people's will!
