What is NORA?

NORA, or the Non-Obvious Relationship Awareness system, is a data mining technology used by law enforcement and intelligence agencies. It aggregates and analyzes vast amounts of personal data from various sources (public records, financial transactions, travel data, phone records, etc.) to identify connections and patterns that might indicate potential criminal or terrorist activity. It aims to uncover non-obvious relationships between individuals, places, and events. Its use is often controversial due to privacy concerns and the potential for misuse.
