    Subject: GCN: TSA seeks vendors to detect terrorists by checking public data
    
    Declan,
    
    A possibility for the Politech list. I thought this line would be of 
    particular interest:
    
    "Some terrorists who have not established a significant or useful 
    electronic footprint may still be detected by their lack of such a 
    footprint, TSA said".
    
    disclosure: I work for GCN too.
    
    Happy holidays!

    TSA seeks vendors to detect terrorists by checking public data
    
    By Wilson P. Dizard III
    GCN Staff
    
    The Transportation Security Administration has invited proposals from 
    contractors to perform advanced terrorist threat analysis of the agency's 
    job candidates and employees.
