It still retains that position even after the 2010 case of <a href="">US v Warshak</a> which determined that citizens have a reasonable expectation of privacy in such communications. The IRS to this day declares in bland language that no warrant is required for e-mails held by an ISP for more than 180 days. (One <a href="">relevant document</a>). A <a href="">CNET article</a> gives additional context. The ACLU is currently awaiting a response to its <a href="">FOIA requests to other agencies</a> like the FBI and Justice Department for information on their policies, procedures, and practices in reading citizens' private communications. The related case of <a href="">Jewel v NSA</a>, in which the EFF is suing the NSA on behalf of AT&amp;T users for the NSA's dragnet surveillance of Americans' electronic communication, is ongoing (after nearly being completely dismissed on the grounds that nobody has standing to challenge the practice because it's secret). <blockquote>"Evidence in the case includes undisputed documents provided by former AT&amp;T telecommunications technician Mark Klein showing AT&amp;T has routed copies of Internet traffic [including ~1.7 billion e-mails etc. daily] to a secret room in San Francisco controlled by the NSA. It also includes declarations from three NSA whistleblowers along with a mountain of other evidence."</blockquote> The government's use of electronic surveillance is <a href="">increasing dramatically</a> each year.,2013:site.126938 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:11:55 -0800 aclu datamining eff electronicsurveillance foia government internet irs jewelvnsa nsa online powergrab privacy rights spy spying surveillance telecommunications warrant warrantless warrantlesssurveillance wiretap Sleeper "The merger of the private sector, DHS and the FBI" <a href="">How the FBI coordinated the crackdown on Occupy</a> Naomi Wolf writes in The Guardian: <em>The document – reproduced <a href="">here</a> in an easily searchable format – shows a terrifying network of coordinated DHS, FBI, police, regional fusion center, and private-sector activity so completely merged into one another that the monstrous whole is, in fact, one entity: in some cases, bearing a single name, the Domestic Security Alliance Council. And it reveals this merged entity to have one centrally planned, locally executed mission. The documents, in short, show the cops and DHS working for and with banks to target, arrest, and politically disable peaceful American citizens. The documents... show a nationwide meta-plot unfolding in city after city in an Orwellian world: six American universities are sites where campus police funneled information about students involved with OWS to the FBI, with the administrations' knowledge (p51); banks sat down with FBI officials to pool information about OWS protesters harvested by private security; plans to crush Occupy events, planned for a month down the road, were made by the FBI – and offered to the representatives of the same organizations that the protests would target; and even threats of the assassination of OWS leaders by sniper fire – by whom? Where? – now remain redacted and undisclosed to those American citizens in danger, contrary to standard FBI practice to inform the person concerned when there is a threat against a political leader(p61).</em>,2012:site.123322 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 16:50:41 -0800 FBI FOIA guardian naomiwolf occupy OWS police dubold The FBI has a "Do Not Contact" List? <a href="">The Feynman Files.</a> For the first time, FBI records for Dr Richard Feynman <a href="">have been released to the public</a>.

Systems failures at sea are often mysterious, with evidence and remains disappearing to all but the deepest diving vehicles. This was no different in the Cold War, with non-combat losses from <a href="">the US</a> and <a href="">the Soviet Fleets</a>. In that era of nuclear secrets, both those of <a href="">nuclear-powered submarines</a> and <a href="">nuclear weapons</a>, learning about the enemy's technology was paramount. <a href="">Such an opportunity came to the US with the sinking of K-129</a>, a <a href="">Golf Class II Soviet submarine</a> that went down with 98 men on board. The recovery took over six year, involved the possible payback of Howard Hughes, a <a href="">videotaped formal sea burial</a> that was eventually copied and given to then-President Boris Yeltsin, and decades of CIA secrecy. Part of this story starts with the <a href="">USS Halibut</a> (<a href="">SSGN-587</a>), a sub was initially designed as a diesel-electric submarine but completed with nuclear power. <a href="">The Halibut was the first submarine designed to launch guided (Regulus) missiles</a>, her main deck was high above the waterline to provide a dry "flight deck." After that initial duty, <a href="">John P. Craven, attached to the U.S. Navy's Special Projects office, turned the craft into the first US high-tech spy sub</a>. With the combination of undersea cameras and the <a href="">Bayesian search theory</a> proposed by Craven, the <a href="">USS Scorpion (SSN-589) was found</a>. To this day, <a href="">the cause of loss is officially a mystery, though there are theories</a>, the most prominent including torpedo malfunctions and electrical failure. Craven's successful assistance with locating the USS Scorpion and because the USS Halibut was the most advanced spy submarine in the US fleet, the Halibut went in search of a missing Soviet submarine. First tracked by the US via their <a href="">Sound Surveillance System</a> (<a href="">SOSUS</a>), K-129 was first assumed to be in trouble by US forces when Soviet submarines rushed to sea, unencoded signals called for "Red Star" to respond, and no reply was heard. If K-129 was indeed lost, the US could reap much knowledge if they retrieved the sub first. Craven pinpointed a location, and the Halibut went searching. The crew thought they were looking for a Soviet missile, but when the telling set of grainy photos were developed, it was clear they had found the Soviet submarine, 16,580 feet at the ocean bottom. The crew returned with 22,000 photos, and the money poured into upgrading the Halibut were seen as money well spent. But the K-129 wasn't in hand yet. That would require more serious retrieval equipment. The construction of the <a href="">USNS Glomar Explorer</a> took place in in 1973 and 1974, code-named <a href="">Project Azorian</a>, though <a href="">initial news leaks in 1975</a> called it <a href="">Project Jennifer</a>. The project was funded by the government <a href="">under the guise of a Deep Ocean Mining Project</a>, <a href="">possibly a way for Nixon to pay off Hughes</a> for <a href="">financial debts owed</a>. Requests for information were met with a comment that the CIA could "neither confirm nor deny" its ties to Howard Hughes' ship, in what would become known as <a href="">The Glomar Response or the "Glomarization" principle</a>. Of the documents and findings from Project Azorias, none are as touching as <a href="">the 14 minute video of the US sea burial ceremony</a> for the six Soviet crew members found in 1974 as part of the retrieval of K-129. This video and a Soviet naval flag that had shrouded the coffins of the half dozen Soviet sailors was <a href="">given to President Boris Yeltsin of Russia as a symbol of a new era</a>, when the Director of Central Intelligence, Robert Gates, visited Moscow in October 1992, less than a year into <a href="">Gates' term as Director of the CIA</a>. Parts of the video were featured in <a href="">the NOVA Program "Submarines, Secrets and Spies" (transcript)</a> (<a href="">IMDB</a>) in 2003, and the whole video was made available that same year as part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. In <a href="">a 2007 ceremony</a>, <a href="">copies of the 1974 video and copied documents on the search and recovery</a> were given to the <a href="">Pacific Navy Museum in Vladivostok, Russia</a>. <a href="">Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request finally released three additional documents in early 2010</a>: "Project Azorian: The Story of the <em>Hughes Glomar Explorer</em>," <em>Studies in Intelligence</em>, from Fall 1985 and two excised memorandums of conversation from 1975 following the leaked newspaper stories. Though heavily redacted, the report made many hazy or incorrectly-cited details clear, including points in the timeline for Project Azorian, but the contents of the submarine remain vague. To this day, <a href="">there are a number of theories for the initial sinking of K-129</a>, including <a href="">an attempted rogue nuclear strike</a>.
