After a design or process has been agreed to, a feasability model is generated and tested in the lab.
Once the initial bugs and wrinkles are ironed out in the lab, the next step is a field trial, in which a limited rollout into the planned working environment is executed. The case in point is a perfect example of this stage in development of the DPMP (ie “Dangerous Persons Management Process”).
What we have seen taking place at airports by the TSA under the smoke screen of “making air travel safer”, is the laboratory testing (in plain view) of the insidious “show me your papers” process that will eventually be used on EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE.
If you're skeptical about this process, might I remind y'all that TSA is already running field trails via random checks on interstate highways and entry point checks of all attendees at high school proms of all places (you know, that hotbed of anti-US terrorism perpetrated by 18 year olds who can barely spell the word and whose primary goals in life are to: (1) somehow graduate and (2) get laid as often as possible and not necessarily in that order.)
Once the field tests have been completed and reviewed and any remaining bugs corrected, the product/process is rolled out for general use.
So, coming soon to a street corner wherever you might be are TSA searches, internet and personal conversation monitoring, FBI managed facial recognition, activity monitoring via drones, license plate recognition/vehicle tracking, and via the NDAA Act, indefinite & no warrant incarceration or assassination, depending on the prevailing mood the day one’s “transgressions “ for any activity deemed a threat are brought to the attention of the POTUS or his/her duly anointed lackeys.
Welcome to the future where Personal Liberty has become a relic of the “old days”.
Nice response — worthy of a broader public exposure, IMO —
Well stated.
