When reading it, I was waiting for a sentence to explain to me how this is going to have any effect on terrorism. After I finished the article, I'm still left wondering.
If there are signs of, for example, an anthrax problem- why can't hospital personnel just use the telephone and place a 35 cent call to a hotline at the CDC and tell them about it? Someone there could make a note of it, and that's that.
I just don't see how this is neccessary when there are much cheaper, simpler alternatives.
Why hundreds of millions need to be spent on this across the country is beyond me.

I am all for the health, safety, and welfare of everyone in our nation, but let's face it, where exactly is the importance of this High-tech going to fit in with adding to the current outragious financial deficit we have? Like the article says, it probably won't get passed for the millions being proposed on this. And, afterall, for the time being it doesn't have anything to do with the foreign countries and their OIL.
Sorry for sounding harsh, I hope my own opinion made sense.
Yawkaw, you couldn't be more "right-on".
