Posted by timothy on from the creepy-is-right dept.

StCredZero writes "Along the same lines as the earlier article about Poindexter's info being posted, C|Net has an interesting editorial by Declan McCullagh on how to protect our personal information from unauthorized snooping by the authorities, yet let them have a database for tracking down terrorists. McCullagh's solution is based on algorithms developed for Digital Cash."

    Give the government EVERY bit of info on EVERY person. Then, mark the known terrorists, and BAM, you'll have a list of everyone else that matches those filters. Just arrest/execute/whatever those people, and you're all set.
