Military wants to scan communications to find internal threats

The Pentagon wants to create some sort of system that can detect potential internal threats by looking through emails that are sent out. This system should cut down threats but is being questioned by privacy and security experts. 

"Each time we see an incident like a soldier in good mental health becoming homicidal or suicidal or an innocent insider becoming malicious, we wonder why we didn't see it coming," DARPA says. "When we look through the evidence after the fact, we often find a trail -- sometimes even an "obvious" one. The question is: Can we pick up the trail before the fact, giving us time to intervene and prevent an incident."

Although this does invade peoples privacy, if the Pentagon can come up with a stable system that is affective  and will cut down crime rates I believe that a system that can detect threats through emails will be worth it.
