"...TrapWire, a CIA-connected global spying system"
At NetworkWorld.com, Ms. Smith writes about this:
"TrapWire is run by Abraxas Corp's Abraxas Applications. The 2007 whitepaper [PDF] described TrapWire as 'a unique, predictive software system designed to detect patterns of pre-attack surveillance.' No wonder photographers continue to be treated as potential terrorists, since TrapWire says terrorist pre-attack surveillance includes 'photographing, measuring and signaling.' This Private Paste from Justin Ferguson, who helped spread the word of this leak, states, 'It's essentially a system setup to detect surveillance, so if you've ever taken a picture of basically anything 'important' you were probably flagged in a 'suspicious activity report' (SAR). It's logged to a central database and then cross-site reports are disseminated.' "
