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.
