It’s quite eye-opening, to say the least.

Just think: All that “intel”, effort, money, training, etc, etc, etc, and 19 idiots here on expired visas still did all that damage on 9/11. Nothing has changed. We still let in those that wish us harm and fail to track or deport them. This is all nothing but mental masturbation and way to spend boatloads of taxpayers dollars.
I’ve been through various urban SERE type schools and know what real professionals can do to track someone, so this is all nothing but silly games. It isn’t going to get real until people’s lives are at stake if they fail to win such games.
What is amazing is how many Americans volunteer private data on Face Book, other social nets and filling out surveys asking personal info to get a discount or to be nice.
One of my favorite tv program is Person of Interest. In one of the tv stories, the guy who invented the “machine” which monitors all that we do, say on phones or on the internet dropped a bomb that many of us knew.
He said at first getting the personal data on people was hard to do until the Social Nets came out. Then people haven’t stopped giving private data to be out in the open.
I went on face book due to a friend who wrote her first book, a couple of friends making wine and some fishing buddies. I dropped out after about a week due to people I barely knew or didn’t want to know, who wanted to be friends.
A younger relative and his wife, both with advanced degrees in computer stuff about 5 years ago started warning everyone they knew not to fill in personal data to get a Safeway card and other so call benefit cards. Their concern was simple. People were filling in info that data miners could extract. Their examples were clear and simple. Most of us have one mother with one maiden name, one best friend in highschool, one fav color. If you fill in that data to get a so called benefit, data miners can get that data.
If I fill in anything, my Mother’s maiden name was/is Claus. I was born 12/25/1900. My best friend was Rasputin, and my favorite color is Puce. The first country, I visited was America.
