US of A to Record everything?

So, the stereotypical evil geniuses (the description ‘genious’ may be a bit drastic but they haven’t been stopped yet..) at the Pentagon seems to be constantly coming up with new ideas on how to make us all in to obedient little citizens. From Wired’s blog comes this article about a new report from Pentagon, the report states amongst other scary things:

 ”To counter these new threats, technology exists, or could be developed, to provide new levels of spatial, temporal, and spectral resolution and diversity. Furthermore, the ability to record terabyte and larger databases will provide an omnipresent knowledge of the present and the past that can be used to rewind battle space observations in TiVo-like fashion and to run recorded time backwards to help identify and locate even low-level enemy forces. For example, after a car bomb detonates, one would have the ability to play high-resolution data backward in time to follows the vehicle back to the source, and then use that knowledge to focus collection and gain additional information by organizing and searching through archived data.“

Here’s a direct link to the report. Read and get with the programme. A new time is coming, not too soon, we can all hope!
