On: Rand Report Says Geospatial Data Not Big Threat

Hi, I thought in the context of the thread that folks might find our new website on mapping infrastructure with publicly available data interesting: http://policy.gmu.edu/imp The gallery has some low res macro images of our analysis of the data the Post article talks about. Also the research page has some of papers avaialable for download. I think the one big thing the RAND report misses is that it looks at geospatial databases in isolation. It is only when that information is combined with other data and intel that it becomes dangerous. It is in the aggregation, integration and analysis that valuable information comes to light. best, sean GMU school of public policy
