NYPD to probe internet to detect future shooters

[Down1]

Merry Christmas !

Senior officers from The New York City Police Department met late last week to discuss a plan to monitor internet sites in search of clues that might prevent future mass-casualty shootings.

The NYPD intends to create algorithms that scan the text of conversations in chat rooms, social media and emails for clues on potential ‘apolitical or deranged killers’, according to an article in the New York Times.

Why don't they just get D-H-S to fax them their results? Waste of electricity..

i don't want to give them any ideas, but ==>

i can imagine a bunch of ways to track people who use 'anonymous' Internet access.

and my guess is, DARPA / DHS has contracts to develop half of what i'm thinking about.


maybe we G-S.us'ers should write a grant proposal. $2.5 million for a specification of a software program. to be split among all regular members.
