Barry Steinhardt Director of the ACLU Comments on Matrix
Although the domestic component of the Federal DOD Total Information Awareness Project was supposedly ended, there is another effort, called Matrix, to link state databases. Although a number of states have withdrawn participation in the Matrix project it still remains an active effort on the part of some states and federal law enforcement agencies to access information on citizens. Steinhardt relates in an interview with the Washington Post the potential privacy challenges presented by the Matrix program.
