...thinks the project will necessarily evade Murphy's various laws. Yet it has picked up such disparate congressional supporters as Colorado's Patricia Schroeder, a gun-control proponent, and North Carolina's Fred Heineman, a Gingrich Revolution conservative and ex-police chief. Allan Parachini, spokesman for the a.c.l.u. of Southern California and an NIJ adviser, anticipates that somewhere down the line it may pose privacy issues. But even he exhibits guarded enthusiasm.
