Don’t worry you’re covered. The Minority Report is here.
Seriously. I’d love to see old George Stephanopoulos (his name is in the spell check) ask a candidate – what is your position on the great grandson of CARNIVORE determining who gets rounded up? First carnivore, then TIA, now Tangram – the Air Force’s new strategic data mining program.

The new U.S. intelligence czar is developing a computer system capable of data-mining huge amounts of information about everyday events to discern patterns that look like terrorist planning. The Tangram document, a technical guide for contractors, says that researchers have already "developed novel algorithms and methods for linking entities and activities using a guilt-by-association model" also known as link analysis. http://www.upi.com/SecurityTerrorism/vie...
