Unfortunately this has been prophecized too many times and we are most likely walking right along the Neuromancer scenario by Willliam Gibson one of many books on the subject. Intrusion, counter-intrusion, this is the stuff technology and progress is made of.
I'm not worried about FBI special agent Jerkoff though. The truly scary part is when they develop some AI system capable of processing all this data at light speed, Terminator style. Then we are truly fucked..or could this be the new Messiah? Time will tell.
What's kind of messy too is the paragraph below:
"Before taking the position at the Pentagon, Admiral Poindexter, who was convicted in 1990 for his role in the Iran-contra affair, had worked as a contractor on one of the projects he now controls. Admiral Poindexter's conviction was reversed in 1991 by a federal appeals court because he had been granted immunity for his testimony before Congress about the case."
I seem to recall that Pointdexter actually got off by presidential pardon, namely Bush Sr. #41..hmm..
