Fusion Centers should be a smoothie–not a security program
Here is a great article from the Washington Post describing fusion centers.
Fusion Centers are creepy. They collect, buy or steal private data about residents in a state and store it. Meanwhile there is no transparency or due process involved because of “Security Reasons.” So here we are–stuck with fusion centers spying on our own citizens and no way to revoke it. Disturbing.
And since I blatantly stole this article from my friend Richard, I figure I’ll steal the money quote as well:
“There is never ever enough information when it comes to terrorism” said Maj. Steven G. O’Donnell, deputy superintendent of the Rhode Island State Police. “That’s what post-9/11 is about.”
