Search Engine For Criminals

from the but-where-do-you-get-the-info...? dept

There are lots of different companies working on different types of search technologies, but how about one that will sift through a bunch of documents and take a guess at where you are, geographically. That seems to be the goal of a company named MetaCarta – and, as you might imagine, they’ve got the interest of various government agencies, who like the idea of “Googling” for criminals and terrorists.
