AOPA has been fighting this for a while. So has part of the flight
simulation community.

Gotta figure a government agency with 'Intelligence' as part of its name is
going to be anything but. This is old news and a number of alphabets have
been on it for quite some time

Yes, DAFIF is the product (that I know of) that they are trying to
withdraw from the public availability. There *may* be other products,
but I'm not aware of them.
