From Slahdot:
"In many ways finding the small amount of terrorists within the
United States is like screening a population of people for a rare
disease. A physician explains why collecting excessive data is actually dangerous.
Each time a test is run, the number of people incorrectly identified
quickly dwarfs the correct matches. Just like in medicine, being
incorrectly labelled has serious consequences."
Okay, Students. This is one place you will have to use this in real life.
