National Dragnet is a click away

US Justice Department creating a National Data exchange...Would that be a recreation of PNC1 then? If it is really a national intelligence exchange then there's a lot more work to be done than they appear to realise. Will they be copying the UK National Intelligence Model? [Dont tell me, we copied it from them???]
Don't fear children, it's only to get the nasty terrorists!
Actually, two pages of this article are about the hardware and the software and a lot more interesting than the first one which is just "kindly old Uncle Sam is watching the bad guys to keep you safe at night". Dont see much discussion of data protection issues or nature of the intelligence: how reliable is the source etc... Ho hum.
