Out of the Blue

Being particularly fond of instances where life imitates art, I had to do a double-take at Wanted: What's His Name Again, a Wired article sent along as a link of the day candidate (thanks Mike Martinez). I think we're about one TButtle away from living in the world depicted in Brazil, which is perhaps my favorite all-time movie. If Michael Palin comes to your door looking for someone, be sure to double-check his paperwork.

Link of the Day: Top Ten Worst Game Covers. Thanks Ant.
Stories of the Day: New York's most expensive burger (NY Times free registration required). Thanks Mike Martinez.
Images of the Day: Lee Harvey and the Dallas Fuzz (featuring Jack Ruby). Thanks Sean Hannan.
The Real BOFH. Thanks Ant.
Nice City. Thanks Chris Grindle.

It isn't of course only a problem with the FBI. For example as http://quest.cjonline.com/stories/120500/gen_1205004851.shtml shows the list of eligible voters in many states (including the too close to call state of florida) often uses name matching to identify people as 'felons'.
