March 15th 2006 at 12:33 pm in I just received Schneier’s latest CRYPTOGRAM which has quite an interesting articled entitled Data Mining for Terrorists.
To quote the intro (emphasis mine):
In the post 9/11 world, there’s much focus on connecting the dots. Many believe that data mining is the crystal ball that will enable us to uncover future terrorist plots. But even in the most wildly optimistic projections, data mining isn’t tenable for that purpose. We’re not trading privacy for security; we’re giving up privacy and getting no security in return.
