| The One and Only... | The mars mission is going to take decades, not five years. What the heck are you talking about? |

Remember, many of the folk in this administration were around and on board fro Reagan's dream of an anti nuke force shield. Remember this administration signed off on the idea that yiou could get a manned mars mission rolling with a billion dollars over five years. These guys are strongly, vicerally anti science. They don't get it at even the most simplistic levels. They believe in rayguns, rocketships and creation sciennce. |

Scary shit at the end of this story Bio-security still a fantasy I've worked on projects that were on the periphery of biometrics (developing a low-cost VR glove), and even there, the difficulties in these problem spaces were too overwhelming for the current technology. I can't believe the American security establishment thinks the technology is mature enough to provide effective tracking and identification of potential miscreants, let alone believe they can establish a database of the unique biological identifiers of the most wanted international fugitives. You'd have to have Osama Bin Laden and other terrorists in custody first to get their retinal scans and such other markers; but if you had them in custody, then you wouldn't need to have these systems. Idiotic. The mention at the end of the article of NASA working on neurological scanning technology gave me the willies. |
