Thanks you. That was very kind and thoughtful of you.
I would propose that use of the database be restricted to attempts to prevent mass murder. It would not be available to track down people with unpaid parking tickets, "deadbeat dads," or other potential targets. Perhaps legislators will want to add crimes other than terrorism to the list of uses for the database. This should be done very carefully, perhaps requiring more than just a simple majority vote. As I pointed out in a previous essay, many of our laws would have to be reconsidered if technology suddenly made enforcement easier. Right, First mass murder, then one murder, then kidnapping, then threatening a govmint official, and all the way to jaywalking (Trying to cause a accident=terrorism.)
