There is no clear solution for dealing with the people who are returning home after going to Syria to support PISSI. Every approach has its risks and problems.

Thugs in Caloocan (Philippines) arrested teenager Kian delos Santos and dragged him away to shoot him in the head. Then they planted a gun on him. Now the whole city's thug department has been sent for retraining while a few face charges.

Bruce Schneier: It is no use pressuring Equifax and other data brokers to maintain better security over your data. They will ignore such pressure. Only government regulations will help.

To really address the problem, we need to limit the accumulation of personal data, not merely to maintain better security against crackers. There are four ways that databases are misused:
