Squirtle writes "Though many citizens currently quiver in fear at the crime-fighting technology displayed on shows like CSI, the government really isn't as technologically advanced as many think; in fact, for a very long time, police forces and intelligence agencies were forced to rely on their own information databases to catch criminals and terrorists. However, it seems that the U.S. government is taking a step towards tightening the noose around criminals — and potential criminals — with a new national information-sharing system. The new system was developed by Raytheon for a frugal $85 million, according to the Washington Post. Raytheon is the fifth largest defense contractor to the United States, specializing in missiles and aircraft of the militant sort. The program intends to unite all of the police and intelligence "nodes" currently working on their own or on a limited basis with other "nodes;" though many law-enforcement and intelligence agencies have compiled data, by sharing data the government hopes to more effectively fight crime and prevent terrorism."
