Two important news pieces on cybercrime

1.  The FBI is executing warrants against the Wiki-leaks supporters.  I had long suspected that most of these guys were not as tricky (sophisticated) as they thought they were.http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2011/01/27/107589/fbi-serves-40-warrants-in-search.html
2.  Another article on government picking at your electronic data.  Who gets picked for this is a crapshoot.  The problem is not that they are friend-ing people on facebook to snoop but that there are too many illegal acts they can investigate.  It is time to go after rogue prosecutors, people always go after the cop.  We need to change direction at the top.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/gw-schulz/when-can-cops-gain-access_b_815211.html

Introduction

This is the first issue so it is worth saying what I would like to cover.  I am interested in increasing labor market participation and public safety.  I believe that is done through life long learning and remediation.  I am particularly interested in using mathematics to decide what is a threat and what is not.
