“If this ‘Enemy of the State’ monstrosity is good for anything at all, it’s keeping track of people the regime already knows it doesn’t like for political reasons. Imagine A. Mitchell Palmer with a facial recognition database of IWW and Socialist Party members, and you get the idea. ‘Eugene Debs spotted at the A&P — dispatch paddy wagon immediately!’ But even for this application, the actual implementation would probably be more like Information Retrieval in ‘Brazil.’ Some database error would result in Eugene Bebs being arrested instead.”
