I'd get out of this shit-hole, with it's forest of cameras and RFID chipped cars...but where to, exactly? And how? The only way to get a passport is for me to give 49 types of information (Iris scan, photo, blood type, DNA yadda yadda) to the rat bastards anyway, which rather makes the whole exercise pointless. At least the Eastern Europeans could dream of the good old US of A. Bah!  |

When I was small my Dad went on an exchange trip into U.S.S.R. It was the first one, as I recall. He came back and told me all about it. The contrast between totalitarianism and freedom was so stark. As time goes by I'm seeing that those things that we saw as unconscionable and horrific are becoming standard day to day fare in the U.S. now. I'm reminded of the frog in the pot.
The citizens simply could not comprehend what it was that made this "freedom" thing so different from how they lived. They could not comprehend traveling to the next town without permits and planning and being in the good graces of those in control, much less the idea of simply choosing to go to the airport, pay for a ticket, and fly anywhere in the world one might want to on a moment's notice - on a whim.
Now we can't either.
And at no time was my father unescorted or able to go where he might chose to. And at all times he was recorded and those he spoke with were fearful of what they could or could not say.

If it's got a transmitter, it's got a signal. If it's got a signal you can find it . . . "You Can't stop the signal" . . . Find it, then put it on a city or state road maintenance vehicle. They'll have fun chasing their own tail. What you realy want to do is go to a truck stop an put it on a longhauler  |

That's because you scum need step-by-step training. Pretty soon you'll all be wearing your IDs in little plastic cards strung around your necks, then you won't experience any unpleasantness at all.
Heck, we already got ya wearing pajamas and slippers to the airport. And if you're not nice when we pull you aside and paw through your bags, pat you down, and feel you up... you'll regret it.
Just another brick in the Wall.

on the subject of privacy, personal information databases, and the like: Who Watches The Watchers?Article on modern database misuse. "... 'But who is watching the watchers?' The quote used to be a mantra for conspiracy theorists fearing a 1984 style world of government monitoring. But the watchers have turned out to be our own employees, bosses, co-workers and clients. The same people who go to work every day with growing access to internal reports, database queries, privileged communications and more. Every entity has an obligation to protect the private information they hold - either for customers or public citizens. And that means from threats big and small, external and internal." ::yikes:: even ChoicePoint and LexisNexis can't protect their databases... (the story also mentions one interesting way of dealing with these kind of breaches: "Honeytokens: The Other Honeypot". <-- in a way, that's what I when I give an email address to "subscribe" to a web newsletter or something, I add "+XYZ" before the "@" sign to identify who I am giving my info to. For example, if I want the Future Shop flyers to be sent to "MadeUpName@gmail.com" I would subscribe under "MadeUpName+FutureShop@gmail.com" -- it would get to me, but any future spam with that address clearly cam from FS. Okay, not really anything like the "Honeytoken" idea, or maybe it is... :-\ |

Ahh that reminds me of a few simple methods for tracing things to source.
First one - varied signatures. Have a "bank" signature, a "tax" signature, an "insurance" signature etc etc
Second one. People remember lurid prose really well. Tell the same story to 5 people, see which form of words gets back to you. (This one is used by government when they release press details, btw)

"Tell the same story to 5..." ? Don't you mean "tell a different story" ?
