If anything they are just making it harder to find the needle (terrorist threat) in the haystack (their dragnet of data). At the end of the day maybe they don't care about finding the needle anymore.
- JoeAltmaier 13y agoAll kinds of data are interesting. You've seen episodes of CSI. Position data scraped from some app, any app, can come in useful but only when you want to track somebody. Who to track is a different problem. Its not all about finding criminals. But when you've found one, you want to know where he's at, who he's associating with etc.
- winslow 13y agoAbsolutely data is interesting. However, just because it is interesting doesn't mean it is useful to catch a terrorist. The US Government / NSA is creating more enemies then it is "catching" right now. Since when did the American citizen become the default criminal especially one that commits act of terrorism?
