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.)"

    Florida is full of shit. (pardon my french)

    Any mail I get from FL immediately goes into the trash. Their is something wrong with their laws down their and most of the late '80s vacation spam scam came from FL. I don't think they could be prosecuted as in other states. At this point they have become a part of the economy of FL, and that means they have influence. I would suspect if email spam gets any legal footing, the servers will end up in Florida...

    To sum it up, any offer from Florida is a scam.
