New Terrorist Profiling Technology Will Be Unstoppable

TPM Media says of the menacing new technology, "Like TIA, Tangram would compile vast databases of information on hundreds of millions of innocent people, including communications records, credit card transactions and travel information, and mine them for patterns of behavior which look suspiciously terroristical. The problem with the old method of data mining, according to Tangram's caretakers, is that they used a "guilt-by-association" model -- that is, it found terror suspects by seeing who was linked to known or suspected terrorists. Tangram tosses that outmoded concept. It can find terrorists 'suspicions' among innocent people with no ties to suspected terrorists at all!"
