Expanded Use of Domestic Spy Satellite Data
Submitted by aewest on Mon, 2007-08-20 14:29.The Department of Homeland Security will begin to share spy satellite data with domestic law enforcement agencies next year. The theory is that satellite images will assist in border security. The most interesting news resport I've read on this topic came from Fox News. While all the news reports pointed out concerns about oversight and the effect on privacy, only this article mentioned that *getting* data isn't the end of the story - to be meaningful, someone somewhere has to analyze it and that this kind of data would be likely be of low priority:
Analysts across the intelligence community are already swamped with incoming data from foreign surveillance, and they may have little time for lower-priority work.
In light of recent expansions on wiretapping, this is, well, unnerving.
