Florida's Version Of TIA May Spread To Other States

Posted by timothy on from the over-your-shoulder dept.

Annoying Cowwart writes "Looks like TIA is coming back, this time through the by-the States-but-all-together backdoor. Now called M.A.T.R.I.X. ('Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange'). See the Washington Post article for details. I wonder: do they have to try hard to find such apt names for their projects or does it come naturally? (For German speakers, there is another article about this in Der Spiegel.)"

  1. Hm... Bush Runs FL, too by Ishin · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Any surprise that the state that the Bush family currently runs would be the one that's getting this off the ground?

    The FL legislature has been battling all year about medical malpractice suit caps on awards from juries, with the senate holding strong (so far) against them. However, at this point, no matter how anti-common-man the proposal's coming through this state I remain unamazed, I just chalk another one up to the Bush family. Was FL the head of the serpent that Nostradamus predicted?

    1. Insert crappy Matrix joke that we've all heard before here.

    2. Add half-assed, fucking stupid attempt to tie crappy Matrix joke into a pseudo-intellectual criticism of the subject.

    3. Here, have another crappy Matrix joke for good measure.

    4. ????????

    5. Lame conclusion of obligatory "1. 2. 3. 4. ?????? 5. Profit!" joke.

    6. Shut the fuck up and stop making the same jokes every day. You can do better! This is not Fark.com!

    Information wants to be free.

    Oh, except to law enforcement.

    You are all hypocrites.

    This shit already exists, this is no different from existing systems like NIBRS or MILES. Everyone's out to either reinvent the wheel or bitch about it.

    Will you all feel better if they promise to use Open Source Free-as-in-Willy software?

    MySQL is robust enough now that they could track at least 3 dozen people, give or take.

    this naming thing points at two issues: 1, americans are retards 2, the MATRIX thingy is yet another freudian mis-wish for more money and more intern-fucking. as the matrix movies show the matrix can be hacked, which in the real world is equivalent to bribery or money-doping. so the founders of this things is requesting to be paid off under the table, which of course is what the real terrorists do all the time - pay for silence.
