State and local law-enforcement information systems have been linked so that suspicious activities, such as "fans" who are stalking athletes or casing power plants, will be highlighted.

For the FBI and CIA to share precious security information with other agencies at all is itself unprecedented. After touring the facilities, Homeland Security director Tom Ridge was impressed but cautious...
