$200 million to create files on 300 million people, that is less than $0.67 to set up each file, not enough to give any of our files the time that they deserve;-)

I am disturbed that Poindexter is still around, but I don't think the problems will come from his systematic encroachment on our freedoms--the problems will come from from the fact that it is totally impossible to manage, let alone interpret, all the data that will be gathered, and that many important resources will be wasted in the attempt--

The other thing is that when people(especially bureaucrats) are given tasks that are unmanagable, they create all kinds of distractions(imaginary crises and other such hobgoblins) to conceal their failures, and we end up dealing with all that, rather than original, and very real, threat--
