Thirty-Three States Contributed to the MATRIX 328
lexbaby writes "The Salt Lake Tribune has an article claiming that at least 33 states have released government and commercial records on residents to the controversial MATRIX (Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange) network instead of the originally claimed 13." Don't worry, there's plenty of RAM for all 50 and the territories too.

I wonder if those guys model themselves on agent smith -- try to look like him, imitate his mannerisms, setc.
You'd think they'd call it something like "children's protection and technological development project" instead.

Wouldn't that be MATIE?
No, because then they would be confused with the pirate non dairy creamer COFFEE MATIE.

It needs to be "Google Bombed" too. We should all start providing links to it with the phrase "The MATRIX has you [matrix-at.org]" everywhere we can.

Illuminatus Rex: Hm.. Mu.. Ant.. Te... Matie? MATIE? Didn't we decide to keep the Aussie division out this time?
Freemason Grand Master: No, no, they are not in. Purely a coincidence.
Paul W.: Well, it sounds a bit... dull.
Illuminatus Rex: I agree. MATIE just will not work. Think of USA PATRIOT - Uniting and Strengthening - now that is a classic. Even TIA is better, even thought it is just a TLA. How are we going to keep people on their toes with MATIE? People should think of strength and cunning, not Foster's and dingos. We are not playing shadow government here!
Alan G.: What if we change a few letters... uhm.. MATRIX?
Illuminatus Rex: Eeexcellent.
