from the better-surveillance-will dept

With all the talk of how the new terrorism bill will wipe away a bunch of our civil liberties, Bruce Schneier makes the very important point that even if these measures had been in place, they wouldn't have prevented the attacks. So, what's the point of putting them in place now? Even Attorney General John Ashcroft admitted they wouldn't have helped. Instead of creating broader surveillance (more data to deal with) they need to work on better methods of surveillance.
