A slight detour from focus on politics and society...but among my other uneaten hats, I am from time to time tasked with taking a gander at what's being cooked up by the military research programs of the United States.
In the course of performing these duties that I ran across this little sweetheart. Not since the days of "Total Information Awareness" has there been a program that so loudly screams to me, "In the name of all that is sacred, do not even test the concept. Just delete the files, put a big 'April Fools' sign up and hope no one, no one ever took you seriously. The only secret left is that it can be done."

What a world full of angry, self-righteous, alienated and amoral individuals--not just terrorists, mind you, just persons who want somebody else dead--the last thing we need is a cruise missile system that can fit in a lady's purse.

Wow.
