Reporter Hedrick Smith presents newmaterial on how the National Security Agency's domestic surveillance program works and examines clashing viewpoints on whether the president has violated
the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and infringed onconstitutional protections. In another dramatic story, the program shows how
the FBI vacuumed up records on 250,000 ordinary Americans who chose Las Vegas as the destination for their Christmas-New Year's holiday, and thesubsequent revelation that the FBI has misused National Security Letters to gather information. Probing such projects as Total Information Awareness, and its little known successors, Smith discloses that even former government
intelligence officials now worry that the combination of new security threats, advances in communications technologies, and radicalinterpretations of presidential authority may be threatening the privacy of
Americans. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/homefront/ ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
