Guardian Exposes NSA's "The Boundless Informant"
Glenn Greenwald strikes again. In the Guardian today, he writes about another classified NSA surveillance tool, The Boundless Informant.
By extracting information from every DNI and DNR metadata record, the tool is able to create a near realtime snapshot of GAO's collection capability at any given moment. The tool allows users to select a country on a map and view the metadata volume and select details about the collection against that country. The tool also allows users to view high level metrics by organization and then drill down to a more actionable level- down to the program and cover term.
The program slides are here and the three page document is here.
