According to Dyer, the system won't scan "irrelevant" personal information about Americans, such as medical records, but could consider records of over-the-counter drug purchases, which could indicate planning of a bioterrorist attack.

And just how are they gonna get THIS data?

"We're testing our hypothesis on nothing but synthetic data."

That should be quite interesting - developing a set of assumptions and then developing a set of test data containing data that matches those assumptions to see if the data models can detect patterns. I'm SURE our terrorist enemies will be this considerate when they leave their data trails for TIA to detect. "Dammit, Achmid, quit being so rude! Don't pay cash for that! Use your credit card so TIA can spot it!"

"Three thousand people died on 9/11. When you consider the potential effect of a terrorist attack against the privacy of an entire population, there has to be some trade-off," Dyer says.

Lt. Col. Doug Dyer, a program manager at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa), said at an IBM-sponsored conference on data privacy in Almaden, Calif., this week that Americans must trade some privacy for security.

That's because you're a s**t eating, freedom hating bureaucrat Doug.

"Three thousand people died on 9/11. When you consider the potential effect of a terrorist attack against the privacy of an entire population, there has to be some trade-off," Dyer says.

Forget that the FBI could have stopped those guys beforehand. Use it as an excuse to violate the 4th amendment rights of every American. Notice how they take away liberty in the name of security, but they don't GUARANTEE security? There is no promise, no accountability.

Disgusting. Forget 'Give me liberty or give me death'. Now it's 'Take away my liberty, just tell me it'll all be OK.'

The so called "Mark of the Beast" evangelicals have been screaming about? (my comment posted for the tin foil crowd-which ain't looking too crazy these days).
