Someone should tell the CIA about WolframAlpha

[ananiasacts]

Yikes. I think even Michael C. Brown could do better.

[Zubinen]

ugh America. It's only time before our country crumbles.

[geezzerboy]

It is the same in Canada. The RCMP can collect data, masses and masses of if, but they don't have anyone who has the slightest idea how to evaluate and prioritize any of it. To them, every little piece of data, is equal to every other little piece of data. Not one of them knows which dots to connect.

Check how long the Air India case has been going on. That was Canada's biggest terrorist attack, in 1983. Still unsolved. Still in the courts. Millions of pages of so-called evidence..

[rebharath]

@geezzerboy for real. the air india case is a study on what NOT to do.

[RenegadeTimes]

Was good to hear they don't have compilation quick access.....as of yet.

Mistakes will always be made ...I mean how did that man board that flight in the first place..?

So much corruption..no one to trust .

[JCLeSinge]

@RenegadeTimes: He got aboard the plane through the same basic flaw in any security system; it doesn't matter what protocols are in place, there's no eliminating the human factor. You might not be able to beat the system, but you can beat the man who implements it. To put it another way, a guard dog (or a machine) is too dumb to trick, but the handler (or operator) is smart enough to be fooled.

Holy Shit... If Google gets into the security intelligence game on a federal level we might as well change its name to Skynet. Then again, there is no other way to manage these levels of data without an intelligent network like the interwebz. People need to learn respect and how to act, the world would improve very quickly.

We live in a Military/CIA led hunta with an illusion of democracy. They tried to ruin King based on his affairs what do u think they're gonna do with ALL INFO on you? WAKE UP - The only terrorists plotting against us r the ones WE CREATE and Control

BULL SHIT

[Rickdeckard2020]

People buy the underwear bomber story? Come on, Al queda is mostly a tool of NATO controlled to both provide justification for wars by fooling the public silly and provide handlers for islamic cannon fodder imbeciles (against Russia etc) ;)

[gajxo]

One of the stupidest comments outside of the conspiracy videos.

[Rickdeckard2020]

Let me guess

You think the media tells the whole truth, that GHW BUsh senior never worked for the CIA before he became Director, that no company is used as a front, That the US has not been using Saudi funded jihadists since the 80s, that Osama never worked for the CIA, that Operation Northwood was never pitched to JFK, that theres no such thing as a false flag or that the JCoS could not plan such a thing, that the Iraq war was not about oil but about wmds, lol, yes, ok I get the picture

[gajxo]

Dear sir,

you have just completely failed at guessing anything right.

If you're as skillful at analyzing politics as you are at predicting peoples opinions, then, I hope, you might understand why , I think, there is really no reason for me to take any of your comments seriously.

Have a nice day.

[Rickdeckard2020]

We've established that you qualify a comment as stupid without subtantive elements to communicate why you disagree. If parallels can be made with documented false flag ops and controlled groups that were reported by the media and gov in a misleading fashion as designed, then theres potential for such an operation that is by its nature both covert and misleading to lead to the wrong conclusions. You may indeed dismiss the possibility offhand as stupid without any examination or debate, as many do

[1RadicalOne]

Unfortunately, while Harris is largely correct, his comments could easily be quote-mined by the Alex Jones-minded conspiracy theorists who think the government is watching their every move with malevolent plans.

[ndyt]

I have worked on databases for decades. Often, a lot of work goes into designing how data will go into it, but very little though goes into how to get data out of it. It is quite maddening.

[anikinippon]

And the TSA is going to determine who can go on certain flights to Canada? 16,000 people apparently too with non-specific elements in their search so they may not even be properly identified.

[GOPsithlord]

Intelligence collection is vitally important but it will always be intelligence analysis and the ability to synthesize information is what's key. It does not surprise me and it is becoming almost cliche that the government is STILL dysfunctional because of its institutional defects, more having to do with defending turf to protect and justify funding and less to do with willful negligence of national security.  They are highly trained professionals forever beholden to legislative whim.
