Have you all heard of the Matrix project?........
Privacy Backers Eye Matrix's Power
NEW YORK, May 20, 2004
Because the system includes information on innocent people as well as known criminals, Matrix has drawn objections from liberal and conservative privacy groups.
(AP) Before helping to launch the criminal information project known as Matrix, a database contractor gave U.S. and Florida authorities the names of 120,000 people who showed a statistical likelihood of being terrorists — sparking some investigations and arrests.
The "high terrorism factor" scoring system also became a key selling point for the involvement of the database company, Seisint Inc., in the Matrix project.
Public records obtained by The Associated Press from several states show that Justice Department officials cited the scoring technology in appointing Seisint sole contractor on the federally funded, $12 million project.
