A secret surveillance program known as TrapWire was revealed by WikiLeaks last week.  However, continuing distributed denial of service attacks have in turn eliminated access to the site for many people. The loose-knit hacktivism collective Anonymous has pounced on the TrapWire story, though, and has launched an operation to expose the truth behind the program and the companies it is connected to.

RT Web Producer Andrew Blake broke the story last week and is back to bring up the facts about an effort to blanket America in a state-of-the-art surveillance system.  According to Blake:

• In 2004, a company named Abraxas released a program called TrapWire.  It is more sophisticated than any other facial recognition program.
• Abraxas was later acquired by a company named Cubic.
• Trapwire has been installed in the following major cities: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington DC.
