Therefore, it fails 100% of the time, and any captures/arrests made have been outside the scope of the SPOTniks.

Good news, the on-line poll right now shows 64% strongly disagreeing and another 11% disagreeing.

So, John, just exactly how does having your employees wander around looking for microexpressions improve the dismal Red Team failure rates?

When one feels one has to defend something that so many others disagree with, one is coming from a position of weakness. His agency, and this program in particular, are under attack from all sides, so all he can do is try to defend, as lame as that defense may be.

Mr. Rapiscan Michael Chertoff chimes in on the NSA, early detection of threats, etc. in USA Today this week as well.
He's still peddling fear and missing the point.
...Unfortunately, only in movies is an imminent attack required for a program to be successful. In real life, we define success by also stopping threats early in the process...
