Total Information Awareness (TIA) was (or covertly still is) a US department of defence-funded project, led by John Poindexter, appointed to the job in 2002, whose main goal was/is the collection and centralisation in a large database of information on the US people after 9/11. On the left here is the original logo used on the IAO website, but after it came under heavy criticism for its Orwellian/Masonic symbolism it was quietly removed and thereafter the names and bios of the people involved on the project were also removed. I was wondering what has become of this initiative, whether it has permutated into something similar with a different name. If anyone has any info, i’d appreciate it if you left links in the comments.

[Edit] Perhaps the British bought the idea off the Americans and used it to develop the biometric ID card system…Science is power.
