FBI Data Mining Program Raises Eyebrows in Congress : TruthEra.com - Uncover the Truth: "Of further concern to the two congressmen are the FBI’s stated hopes to “pro-actively” mine the data to find terrorists using “predictive” analysis, according to its budget request, an unproven method according to experts and even the U.S. intelligence chief’s office.
In theory, predictive analysis involves mapping a known pattern of terrorist behavior — for instance, the sequence and timing of such mundane activities as bank transactions and travel purchases — against a massive collection of such records like the NSAC databases. If an individual’s actions match the pattern, they can be considered a suspect, even if they have no known ties to any suspected terrorists or known terrorist groups."
This is crazy, sounds a little like Minority Report. By grouping all 1.5 billion records together, and monitoring them, they will essentially be watching for "pre-crime." We will be suspects before we have even done anything.
