“To Profile or Not to Profile?” # Critical reading as the UK Government enables data-trawling apparatus
Sam Harris: I recently wrote two articles in defense of “profiling” in the context of airline security (1 & 2), arguing that the TSA should stop doing secondary screenings of people who stand no reasonable chance of being Muslim jihadists. I knew this proposal would be controversial, but I seriously underestimated how inflamed the response

If you want to follow the #Cambridge #FPGAbackdoor story hype the most effective search is …
https://twitter.com/#!/search/sps32 Sergei Skorobogatov’s username makes a decent search term since it’s embedded in the URL.
