To protect the privacy of individuals not affiliated with terrorism, DARPA seeks technologies for controlling automated search and exploitation algorithms and for purging data structures appropriately. Business rules are required to enforce security policy and views appropriate for the viewer's role.


Until the next sniper or the first US citizen starts organizing terrorist attacks for OBL. The technology genie is out of the bottle and there will be no stuffing it back. We will learn to live with being watched.

Until Joe McCarthy returns.
