I'm sure in your topic you mean "used" not "sued" but it's an interesting typo in its own right.
There was no database in place to remove 58,000 Florida voters from the 2000 election. Only some criminality and corruption that incorrectly and
unlawfully denied 95% of those people their democratic right. Katherine Harris has not heard the end of that.
A supposed 'matrix' of criminal and personal records is certainly capable of being misused in the same way. It could happen anywhere, not just
Florida. This is not 'counter-terrorism', it is just more 'anti-privacy' and 'anti-democracy'. Why not use it? It 'seemed' to get past middle
American apathy the first time.
The name Matrix is cynical as well. It sounds cool and clearly rips off the Hollywood blockbuster name. Brought to you by the same criminal gang that
created the Patriot Acts, TIA and all the other ever-infringing trash.
