eWeek reports -"The Pentagon's research arm, in a report released Tuesday, changed the name of its mammoth electronic surveillance project following public outcry, but concerns that the project will unnecessarily invade privacy without necessarily improving national security remain strong."
TIA used to stand for Total Information Awareness and now is Terrorism Information Awareness. Oh yeesh. Does the government think that by swapping in the term terrorism that the public will embrace being surveilled? "It's okey, Ma! They're not invading our privacy, just looking for terrorists!"
