THE DISPOSITION MATRIX is a federal government database which gathers information about different individuals (without their knowledge); and this information can then be used against these individuals -- the other side is this; this information can ALSO be used to exonerated people and/or prove prior knowledge of events (etc) but government likely allows individuals only limited access to THEIR OWN gathered surveillance information -- so with looming budget cuts facing this nation; our government must now decide whether or not to keep these (expensive) mass-surveillance programs which are now in place (kept only as long as they can be legally used and accessed by the same people who are being monitored); and/or to eliminate them either partially and/or altogether in the face of budget cuts -- The bottom line?: if information gathered is not freely disseminated; and/or if the sheer glut of information is too large for government to police; therefore leading to expensive, time-consuming lawsuits when eventually accessed; then these programs should then be either drastically cut; or eliminated altogether due to their unfair, one-sided (etc) nature.
