Data bombs force computers to make mistakes in computation.
Even if the probability that the purported terrorist profile is accurate were an astonishing 99percentt (if someone has terrorist ties, the profile will pick him or her out 99percentt of the time, and, for ease of computation, if someone does not have such ties, the profile will pick him or her out only 1percentt of the time), most of the hits would be false positives.
At the time her first book was published, she was on the faculty at Arizona State University, where she specialized in scientific computation. .
