'DIGITAL STORM' BREWS AT FBI Issue: Privacy The FBI is seeking $75 million in budget appropriations to update its court-sanctioned telephone and cellular phone data collection systems. One is called "Digital Storm" and allows agents to monitor telephone calls and analyze computerized recordings. The FBI is also looking to create a system that would provide the "foundation for an up-to-date flexible digital collection infrastructure" for wiretaps and an "enterprise database" that would enable agents to analyze and share a huge amount of data via a secure World Wide Web network. FBI officials said the bureau's information technology systems are aging and need to be updated to keep pace with criminal activities that occur both on the Internet and offline. But civil liberties activists, legislators and legal specialists claim that the bureau's proposal could erode constitutional protections that limit government searches. For example, the FBI estimates that the technological advances would so improve the ability to conduct wiretaps that the number of approved taps would increase by 300 percent over the next decade. Deputy Assistant Director Edward Allen played down that number.
