The FBI is working to build an automated system to track its National Security Letter wiretap cases in a bid to eliminate cumbersome and error-prone manual entry of data about the eavesdropping projects. The bureau currently relies on Microsoft Access software to track wiretap requests in the Office of General Counsel (OGC) database.
The meta-question here is whether we, as a society, approve of a setup where the government is issuing so many NSL's that Access can't track them all.
