Georgia drops out of MATRIX

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/33540.html

"The state of Georgia has pulled out of the U.S. Department of Justice sponsored MATRIX information collection program, leaving data only on its felons and sexual offenders behind in the Orwellian database.

Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue has cited both privacy concerns and costs as the two key reasons the state will no longer participate in the MATRIX (Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange) pilot project."

Yep; it usually does come down to the question of who has to pay... I guess to be logically consistent, I may have to join up with the "no unfunded mandates!" crowd ... .

1. So, do you suppose Georgia has more than a few paramilitary groups?

I wonder who they left out.

2. Absolutely

There was a fairly big bust a few years back - in central GA, if I remember correctly.
