"DARPA was founded in 1958, and the people who sat in that office in those early years were much more attuned to broader policy issues," said Smithsonian Institution historian Martin J. Collins, who wrote "Cold War Laboratory," on science, weapons development and free society during the Cold War.
DARPA's notion of using "Total Information Awareness" to find a few terrorists sounds like SOSUS, the Navy's Sound Surveillance System that picked up all the sound in the ocean to track Soviet submarines.
"That's an interesting analogy," said Collins, who found the use of acronyms similar to the Cold War. -
