Title: The Multi-State Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange (MATRIX) Pilot Project
Authors: William J. Krouse, Domestic Social Policy Division 
Abstract: This report provides an overview of the Multi-State Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange (MATRIX) pilot project, which leverages advanced computer/information management capabilities to more quickly access, share, and analyze public records to help law enforcement generate leads, expedite investigations, and possibly prevent terrorist attacks. The pilot project is intended to demonstrate the effective use of such capabilities, but it is less clear whether the project has been designed to prevent unnecessary intrusions on privacy.
