> Today, to public accepts the NSA, spying on every email. The US army is   
   developing system for total battlefield awareness, along with cruise missiles   
   and GPS guided bombs, specifically to hit the target. They know that you cant   
   hit what you cant see.   
      
   except the public doesn't accept that, the NSA has yet to successfully carry   
   through with that, more data creates more questions than answers(and creates   
   far more probability for error) as anyone with an understanding of military   
   science knows, and to    
   quote a sci-fi author who actually understands the hard military science   
   involved "If you load a mudfoot down with a lot of gadgets that he has to   
   watch, someone a lot more simply equipped — say with a stone ax — will   
   sneak up and bash his head in    
   while he is trying to read a vernier"-Robert Heinlen, Starship troopers.   
      
   the thing is when you want to create a realistic science fiction universe you   
   need to get more than just the physics right, if you don't pay attention to   
   the military science and the limitations of your analysts, you aren't writing   
   hard science fiction.    
   you can't even use handwavium AI for your detection and targeting analysis   
   without throwing economics out the window.
