  • dec. 4 0002 -jan. 7, 2003 s jecial re ort i. s ecial report: THE COSTOFW US, says Privacy Will Be Protected in Data Access By Tom Brune I Newsday Seeking to allay concerns of government spying on citizens, a Pentagon official Wednesday said technology being developed to identify terrorists by mining millions of private and public records will be subject to privacy and other laws that protect rights. But the legal and privacy implications of the new, far-reaching technology project—which the Pentagon calls the Total Information Awareness System—remain unclear at this point, said Justice Department officials and privacy advocates Wednesday. The existence of the project came to light a week ago, creating a storm of charges that the Pentagon is creating a tool that would in effect spy on citizens, raising the specter of Big Brother and a near-destruction of privacy. Adding to the complaints has been the fact that the project was originated and is run by John Poindexter, who was convicted on five counts of lying to Congress in the Iran-Contra weapons-for-hostages scandal, though the conviction later was overturned. For the first time Wednesday, Edward C. "Pete" Aldridge, a Defense Department undersecretary for acquisition, technology and logistics, officially outlined the project in a news media briefing at the Pentagon, seeking to downplay its threat to liberties. Aldridge said the project had a $10 million budget this year but that future funding had not been decided. He said it had three parts: rapid language translation and speech-to-text ability, so that other countries' records could be examined; data-mining of various transactions and records; and collaborative reasoning-and-decision-making tools. The data-mining section has raised the most concern, since the transaction records of many innocent citizens and individuals would be accessed and analyzed by the system in its search for terrorists. Already, government agencies have begun mining commercial databases in pursuit of terrorists, especially in the attempts to track financial transactions that might be linked to the funding of terrorism abroad, say federal officials and libertarians. But the Total Information Awareness System would go beyond traditional data mining, and would include commercial, government and possibly private records, said the Defense Department's Information Awareness Office, which oversees the project. In fact, the project is so ambitious that some advocates and high-tech experts wonder if it will even work, given that there are so many different computer and information systems, and that there is still data that is not online or computerized in a timely way—or at all. Among the records that would be collected and combed through, Aldridge said, are passports; visas; work permits; driver's licenses; credit cards; airline tickets; rental cars; gun purchases; chemical purchases; and events such as arrests or suspicious activities. "You're looking for trends in transactions that are associated with some potential terrorist act," Aldridge said. "And you're trying to put those pieces together." A terrorist might enter the country, so he'd get a visa from the State Department; then he might get a driver's license, take flying lessons, buy a lot of chemicals, purchase a gun, Aldridge said. The experimental prototype now being developed, he said, would not use actual data involving citizens, but would use made-up information. He said the Defense Department would not use the technology once it was developed, but would turn it over to intelligence and law enforcement agencies, governed by laws to protect individual privacy. Law enforcement officials have taken a wait-and-see attitude. The Justice Department has not gotten any information about the project from the Pentagon and thus cannot comment, spokesman Bryan Sierra said. The FBI had no official comment on the project either. But one FBI official said he wondered how the bureau could gain approval to use the system without first having evidence of criminal activity or suspects. And privacy groups have other concerns. This week, a letter signed by more than 50 privacy and libertarian groups urged Senate leaders to stop the development of the system because it will has no built-in oversight or accountability. "There are few if any rules that govern this," said James X. Dempsey of the civil liberties group Center for Democracy and Technology. And the laws that do exist, such as the 1974 Privacy Act, are too technologically out of date to address it, he said. "One of the issues is that we don't know what data we talk about," he said. "How the government gets it. How to ensure it's accurate. How a person gets off the list if they pop up as a possible terrorist." Aldridge also defended Poindexter, saying he was "an enthusiastic leader." Poindexter has said a panel within the Pentagon has been appointed to study how to preserve privacy, and discussions have begun with the National Academy of Sciences for a longer-range study. 0 2002 Distributed by the Los Angeles Times-Washington Post News Service WCnewsmagazine presents views of those here around campus and across the nation as well. Too many times we forget that we are "One nation, indivisible." You may not care what "they" think, but as an American, at least you can check out what they're yapping about and decide for yourself if it really matters. Send us your comm tsg - call: 227-7267 e-mail: wc@wcusedu ewsma azine oposal to Enlist itizen Spies - Doomed from Start By Dan Eggen I The Washington Post The Justice Department's Operation TIPS program, which would have enlisted tens of thousands of truckers, bus drivers and other workers as citizen spies, was doomed before it began. The Homeland Security package approved by the Senate last week and slated to be signed by President Bush includes language explicitly prohibiting the government from implementing the controversial initiative. It was hounded by criticism from civil libertarians and targeted for elimination by key lawmakers. The ill-fated program was first announced by Bush in March as part of a package of "Citizen Corps" initiatives aimed at getting regular Americans involved in fighting terrorism. But as details about the program began to leak out, parties as divergent as the American Civil Liberties Union and House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Tex., rallied to condemn the effort. They argued it would encourage citizens to snoop on one another while doing little to safeguard the nation. The initiative quickly became a public- relations disaster for Attorney General John D. Ashcroft and other Bush administration officials. It served as a symbol for anti-terrorism policies that many Democrats and civil liberties groups considered heavy-handed. "This program epitomized the government's insatiable appetite for surveillance of law-abiding citizens," said Laura Murphy, direct" of the ACLU's Washington office. "Too many people thought that the government's anti- terrorism policies wouldn't have an impact on their lives, but this showed that they would." TIPS—the Terrorism Information and Prevention System—was envisioned as a "national system for reporting suspicious and potentially terrorist-related activity" involving "millions of American workers who, in the daily course of their work, are in a unique position to see potentially unusual or suspicious activity in public places, according to a description posted last summer on the Justice Department's Web site. The ACLU and other groups, alarmed by the possibility that utility workers or delivery drivers might be enlisted to spy on customers, said the program was akin to creating "government- sanctioned Peeping Toms." Armey, a soon-to-be- retired conservative lawmaker with a decidedly libertarian bent, inserted language into the original Homeland Security bill slating the program for elimination, while Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., proposed cutting the initiative's funding. Justice officials attempted to rescue the effort by issuing rules in August explicitly excluding any mail carriers, utility repair personnel or other workers with access to private homes. Ashcroft also told lawmakers he had scrapped plans for a centralized database to compile suspicious reports. But the retreat did little to calm lawmakers' fears, leading to language in the final version of the Homeland Security package prohibiting "any and all activities" to implement the program. Glenda Kendrick, a spokeswoman with the Justice Department's Office of Justice Programs, said last week that Operation TIPS awas never operational, so there's nothing to shut down." "It never made it past the proposal stage," she said. 9 POST
