Re: @moiety
Yeah - analyse events in a "what the fuck happened there and is there anything that can be done to stop it happening again or even identify the conditions that can make it more likely?" sort of thing. Not seen the film, so can't say whether that's what I was thinking of. Definitely more forensic analysis with a side-order of "Welp. That's the problem. Do any solutions present themselves?" than pro-active Minority Report stuff.
I was going on the theory that probably most of the awful things you can imagine governments doing with the data are probably happening already. In, I expect, insanely well-funded and luxurious departments. So might as well try for a couple of socially-productive spinoffs for the £billions we are being charged to have the piss taken.
