I suspect I’ll have more to say about this shortly.

I suspect that back in 2002, you’d have had something to say about it right away. But now, “Total Information Awareness” has become “trail blazing…”
I’ll say now what I said before: the law has to catch up with the technology in this area. There are benefits and costs to these kinds of programs and while abuse is possible, that possibility is not proof that those running the program have sinister motives. Are choices are to decide quickly where the edges of the envelope are, or spend the intervening time complaining about government’s penchant for pushing them.
My lack of longer commentary is just based on personal backlog, not the inherent nature of this—I think it’s pretty damn disturbing. Mostly because once a monitoring regime is set up, I’m not sanguine that it doesn’t become another attack vector.
