Why are they so scared to identify who the most likely potential terrorists are? If they had done what used to be called good honest police work, they may have caught the Tsarnov’s before the plot.
All of it goes to show just how useless all the data mining is in stopping terrorism.
Ah, but it's very useful in other endeavors.
LOL...from the article:
"The hypothetical terrorist group was even given a name: Free America Citizens, a home-grown cadre of militiamen whose logo would be a metal skull wearing an Uncle Sam hat and a furious expression, according to a copy of the plans obtained by the Boston Globe."
They either don't know how to, or refuse to reconcile their world view with the reality. And how does a skull wear a furious expression?
That's because it was never genuinely designed for finding terrorists, it was designed to control the domestic home front all along.
You, regular Joe Public, have always been the target of the surveillance grid.
The whole 'terrorism' meme was created to get the public to go along while they constructed the grid 'for your safety.'
