Total Information Awareness (TIA)
Total Information Awareness (TIA) :
A controversial Department of Defense (DOD) project managed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). TIA is a research initiative that would use technology to detect terrorist attacks before they happen. Lawmakers and civil liberties advocates are concerned that TIA would violate individuals privacy if it were used to inspect personal data, particularly financial transactions and phone records. TIA would consist of a set of technologies, including electronic searching tools to mine such records in the hopes of finding patterns indicating an imminent attack. TIA advocates say it isn't intended to scour large numbers of private databases and have long said that media and privacy groups have misinterpreted their intentions
