Sophisticated Surveillance System Already in Place

Hacked emails reveal that intelligence officials have security systems in place as part of the Trap Wire Program.

Former senior intelligence officials have created a detailed surveillance system more accurate than modern facial recognition technology — and have installed it across the US under the radar of most Americans, according to emails hacked by Anonymous.

Every few seconds, data picked up at surveillance points in major cities and landmarks across the United States are recorded digitally on the spot, then encrypted and instantaneously delivered to a fortified central database center at an undisclosed location to be aggregated with other intelligence. It's part of a program called TrapWire and it's the brainchild of the Abraxas, a Northern Virginia company staffed with elite from America's intelligence community. The employee roster at Arbaxas reads like a who's who of agents once with the PentagonCIA and other government entities according to their public LinkedIn profiles, and the corporation's ties are assumed to go deeper than even documented.
