I communicated with Jason when I asked him for a Google Wave invite (which he kindly gave me). I assume I'm also therefore on a list.
I imagine that the NSA is building a database with every single person on the planet sourced from multiple databases, both PRISMed, FISAed and stolen, and each person has a 'risk' and 'delinquency' factor, just like credit ratings. They also have an 'influence' factor and next to it a link that takes the operator to the available naked pics of the subject for blackmail purposes.
If I was the bad guys I would definitely do that. In fact, it's not enough to have a risk factor because there are many types of risk (terrorism risk, standard crime risk, political risk, and even whistle-blower risk, for those with access to classified information).
Please clarify. Is it your position that the general public would be better informed of the actual state of the world if someone created a non-functional prototype of something you imagine to exist? Or is your intent not to inform them of the actual state of the world, but to convince them of your beliefs about it?
