Interesting interview with John Sabo
If you are at all interested in how security affects our public information systems here’s a an interesting interview.
I especially like the candor of comments like:
Have security concerns affected electronic delivery of government services since Sept. 11?
SABO: My sense is that the tilt hasn’t been so much within electronic services, it has been that the resources that would have gone into accelerating e-government are being diverted to immediate defensive needs.
This is interesting to me because I agree with the criticism that our present domestic policy has been too strongly titled toward detention.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could use the initiative we have been provided by these tragic events to bring government closer to the people in a more constructive way. I feel pretty sure that over the next few years our government will be challenged to come up with a domestice security plan that will have to protect the population that’s more sophistacated than just detaining more of it?
Good interview.
