The best weapon in the fight against terrorism and commercial fraud is whistle blowing. The authorities can make the best use of information from ordinary people who encounter the terrorists and fraudsters in the daily life and work.
We need an effective system for the information to be recorded, screened, evaluated and acted.
We also have to overcome two difficulties:
a) The reluctance of the whistle blower to come forward - as they stand the risk of reprisals.
b) An effective way to process the large volume of data and information that is generated, so that the authorities are not overwhelmed.
The current approach taken by the authorities do not address the root problems. As a result, whistle blowing has not been effective. We need a new approach.
If the people in charge are keen to explore a new approach, they can contact me.
