Welcome to the Future--Please Turn Yourself In

CNN has the following:

"NEW YORK (AP) -- Before helping to launch the criminal information project known as Matrix, a database contractor gave U.S. and Florida authorities the names of 120,000 people who showed a statistical likelihood of being terrorists -- sparking some investigations and arrests."

I'm sure we'll all rest a little easier once the potential terrorists give up the ghost and place themselves at the mercy of the authorities--who no doubt will respect their rights to the same extent that we see in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib.

But here's the laff line of the article:

Seisint Inc., is a Boca Raton, Florida, company founded by a millionaire, Hank Asher, who stepped down from its board of directors last year after revelations of past ties to drug smugglers.

I wonder if Asher made the list too...
