Security or Activity
The Bruce Schneir article on data mining and security interjects some reason into an atmosphere where there is little to be found.
His premise is that the Carnivore-Style datamining is more damaging over the short term than any advantage that might be gained.
After the fact, connecting the dots from the 9-11 hijackers, the pattern of connections emerges. Trying to do that before the terrorist attack is an entirely different issue.
The primary concern is one of false positives. A true terrorist event is such an unusual event that the of scrambling resources many thousands of times is certainly going to activate the worst in society.
More importantly, it will concurrently undermine and eliminate the natural reluctance in our system and desire for privacy, all in the name of facing the current danger. The current danger, history tells us, has a way of changing in ways that are hard to predict.
