What are your thoughts on this? Its not only to catch terrorists. What do you think will happen with errors made in data collection?

This is not data off your computer. This is when you have a traffic accident, medical insurance claim, buy a house, virtually, your whole life.

Yes, it is going overboard.
What... we have a terrorist score, just like a credit score. How would one go about fixing a bad terrorist score? Do negative records go away after 7 years?
As a conservative... this is overboard. What does crooked pharmacists and insurance fraud have to do with terror? NOTHING!
The FBI and other law enforcement agencies need to get off their butt and do some good old fashion police work.
But, of course, I keep an open mind, as this article could be severaly slanted, and it might not be totally truthful. But as I read it, yes, it is overboard.

It's a great idea! It would really help catch criminals and terrorist! I don't see why anything that's put out on the web can't be used.
errors? The same thing can happen in regular law enforcement, but we don't stop catching criminals because of it.

I am SO scared. 350,000,000 Americans, producing how many emails , text messages, phone calls.
It takes the IRS 3 years to check questionable returns.
You would be long dead. if they were looking at everyone and doing follow up. by the time they knocked on your door.
GET a freaking clue. It's the Aliens on the Space Ship not our government that YOU need yo worry about.

The only part that bothers me is a risk assessment for potential threat. If they decided to actually do that then I would consider that too far. Its one thing to look for evidence its quite another to mark someone for what they have the potential to do.

Information transit got the wrong man. I got the right man. The wrong one was delivered to me as the right man. I accepted him, on good faith, as the right man. Was i wrong?
