Matrix Reborn

It appears that the project called the Matrix (A project to find enemies of the state in the credit card records, marriage licenses, and vehicle registration data of average citizens) that was canceled, is not so dead after all. It appears that Florida is restarting that project in some form. I really don't see the need for this project. And it is so ripe for abuse. It just shows that some people will always want to keep track of the population in general terms. While these things sound good from the perspective of fear of terror attacks, in practice the only people really hurt are the people being protected by these systems.
