FBI Launches System To Track Wiretapping Requests
The FBI is now using a new system to track requests for wiretaps to be reviewed by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which meets in secret, Government Computer News reports. Surveillance requests come from the bureau’s 56 field offices at different classification levels. In order to streamline the vetting process, the new system created by High Performance Technologies lets users access different levels of information based on their security clearances and decreases the processing time from 120 days to 60. An FBI official said of the previous system, "To give you an idea of their idea of connectivity, it was called Oasis [and wasn’t connected to anything]."
