-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- BATF and the rest of the overactive fascist federal bureaucracy - seeking to marginalize & criminalize even the school kids today... via software ! This same software is GPS- aware (global positioning system) - so that targeted persons locations and movements may be surveilled with the assistance of satellites. Not to mention the surveillance cameras that are springing up on city streets. What is the intent? to create a prison-camp without walls? Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave MOSAIC 2000 "is an advanced computer assisted assessment system that provides guidance in the evaluation of situations that might escalate to violence," according to Gavin de Becker Inc., the security firm that developed the controversial system with the help of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The system rates each child on a violence scale of 1 to 10 according to their answers to such questions as gun ownership or access and family violence histories. Field trials began last month in about 25 school districts across the United States. Larry Pratt, president of Gun Owners of America noted that even the psychiatric profession admits predicting violence in individuals is uncertain at best. "A principal will do better flipping a coin than using this program," to determine who is prone to violence, he said. Pratt added that he believes the purpose of the BATF involvement is to "gather more information about guns and gun owners out there." Were MOSAIC 2000 used in Wichita, Kan., college-bound and scholarship recipient Boman might now be labeled as "violence prone." <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
