The New Inquistion
President Bush's televised answer to the growing concerns of many - including some Republicans - about the powers granted to him in the USA Patriot Act was to ask for even stronger measures, particularly the expanded use of "nonjudicial subpoenas." That means a federal agency such as the FBI can write its own subpoenas to conduct a search - no judges needed.

Concerns About Citizen Privacy Grow as States Create 'Matrix' Database
While privacy worries are frustrating the Pentagon's plans for a far-reaching database "to combat terrorism," a similar project is quietly taking shape with the participation of more than a dozen states -- and $12 million in federal funds.

An Informed Citizenry Telling Trend Takes Hold - Don't call it TIPS, it's Cat Eyes!

The Domestic Spying Trap A proposal to give the C.I.A. broad new powers to engage in domestic spying failed to win sufficient backing in Congress.

The system, originally developed in Canada, was used last year by law enforcement agencies guarding George Bush and other world leaders at a summit in Mexico.

Since these investigations are conducted in secret, the librarians and booksellers are bound under a gag order not to divulge one word of what the FBI is after, nor, indeed, even mention that they have received a visit from the FBI.

On Terror and Spying, Ashcroft Expands Reach "Even some of his conservative peers complain that Mr. Ashcroft may have grown too powerful. To his critics, Mr. Ashcroft is a Big Brother figure: an attorney general whose expanding scope has allowed the Justice Department to use wiretaps, backroom decisions, and an expanded street presence to spy on ordinary Americans, read their e-mail messages, or monitor their library checkouts, all in the name of fighting terrorism. And the department's consideration of proposals that could give it still greater, secret counterterrorism authority has provoked a fresh round of concerns."

Face-Recognition Technology Improves Facial recognition technology has improved substatially since 2000, according to results release from a test by four federal agencies involving systems from 10 companies.

New Federal Plan for DNA Testing Facing a huge national backlog of cases, Attorney General John Ashcroft announced plans to seek $1 billion over five years to increase DNA analysis.

Privacy Invasion Curtailed "The Wyden amendment held up funding for the Total Information Awareness penetration of the American home until the administration (1) explained it in detail to Congress, including its impact on civil liberties, and (2) barred any deployment of the technology against U.S. citizens without prior Congressional approval." - I noticed that this all hinges on Congressional approval, and nowhere mentions informing the public. So, if Congress approves it, then T.I.A. is back on line and there's nowhere you can hide!

Driver License Scam Target of FTC Suits Six companies sued for selling fake "international driver's licenses" over the internet. "Scam artists who sell 'international driver's licenses' intentionally foster confusion between their license and a legitimate document called an international driving permit, authorities said. The legitimate $10 permit is an official translation of one nation's driver's license into other languages. But the permit confers no driving privileges by itself and must be accompanied by a valid driver's license from the motorist's home country, according to the U.S. State Department."

Personal Info Remains on Old Hard Drives So, if you plan to sell or give away your old system be sure to clean it first. You never know who may end up with it, or what they may do with your info.

Think that you can protect yourself from the big bad terrorists? Huh? We didn't think so. Now, what's your bank account number?

You do love children don't you? Then you will welcome big brother and his new world order, or you will be painted by the media as a wild-eyed conspiracy theorist who hates children.
