Does it occur to anyone that this is just the argument against TIA inverted? As private citizens, we're all concerned about what happens when the government puts together a bunch of publicly availalbe information, because we intuitively feel that the whole is more than the sum of its parts. Now the government is saying the same thing, isn't it? As someone who is no fan of TIA and is a fan of folks using public information in their PhD dissertations, I find the analogy thought-provoking.

Citizens should be able to map police lookout points, record the movements of troops stationed in cities, and do whatever else it takes to have a robust conversation about how to improve security. - Lucas Gonze ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe to Politech: http://www.politechbot.com/info/subscribe.html This message is archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Declan McCullagh's photographs are at http://www.mccullagh.org/ Like Politech?
