"The EFF has put together a quick tutorial on using FedBizOpps to see what sorts of surveillance technologies US federal agencies have been buying.

Examples of documents that anyone can retrieve from the database include the Director of National Intelligence's funding of a program to dramatically increase facial recognition algorithms, the FBI purchasing fiber-optic tapping systems and a contract for drone programs in Burundi, Kenya and Uganda."
