Subject: GCN: TSA seeks vendors to detect terrorists by checking public data

Declan,

A possibility for the Politech list. I thought this line would be of 
particular interest:

"Some terrorists who have not established a significant or useful 
electronic footprint may still be detected by their lack of such a 
footprint, TSA said".

disclosure: I work for GCN too.

Happy holidays!

By Wilson P. Dizard III
GCN Staff

The Transportation Security Administration has invited proposals from 
contractors to perform advanced terrorist threat analysis of the agency's 
job candidates and employees.
