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.)"

  2. I want cameras on every street and ID cards by zymano · · Score: -1, Troll

    for everyone. I like Britains idea of cameras in high crime areas . I like the idea of ID cards but most importantly to stop CHILD KIDNAPPERS and other criminals is to have Radio Tags on CARS. Cars are the biggest tool for criminals. Many,Many murders and other crimes could be solved with these technologies. Any of you discounting these ideas are not seeing the big picture and that is criminals have better tools to commit crimes. Give law enforcement the upper hand.

    I won't join the ACLU because they seem rather keen on taking away my freedoms, such as the freedoms of my children to practice their religion in public places.

    But I'm a Christian white male, so I don't deserve any freedom, right? Or at least that's what I keep getting told.
