John Poindexter Technology Quotations

I knew from the beginning that privacy was going to be a huge issue, especially with regard to applying Total Information Awareness in counterterrorism. Because if the technology development was successful, a logical place to apply it was inside the United States.

I really believe that we don't have to make a trade-off between security and privacy. I think technology gives us the ability to have both.

The 9/11 Commission is identifying the exact problems that we were trying to get technology to solve. So I keep pushing the idea.
