Although there has been significant public attention to the civil
liberties issues of data surveillance over the past few years, there
has been little discussion of the actual techniques that could be
employed in any but the most restricted settings. Likewise, there has
been little discussion of methods and technologies for conducting
data surveillance while respecting privacy and preserving civil
liberties.
