This type of arrangement would allow NSA computers * to use keyword monitoring to scan for any names in which they were * interested. ! FBI Director Louis J.

[ We have Federal laws against terminating someone's benefits based solely (automatically by computer) on "computer matching" hits of possible ineligibility. But NOTHING to protect us from this nearly IDENTICAL use of computer data to terminate "benefits". ] * To the government, the question of whether the money had been legally * earned or was the product of a nefarious drug sale was of no concern. * * Maybe worse than the nebulous structuring provision is a feature of the * same group of laws that places the burden of proof on the victim.

It is totally urinating what the politicians and courts have allowed in the name of the Drug War. : Privacy Journal's War Stories, By Attorney Robert Ellis Smith : : Burlingame, CA, 1990: A flight attendant suffered medical complications : because of Federal requirements that compel drug-monitors to have : employees drink water until they can provide a urine sample. The 40-year- : old woman was unable to urinate in a random drug test. She drank three : quarts of water and even vomited some of it but could not urinate in the : noisy crowded test site. She became ill at home and a doctor diagnosed : her condition as "water intoxication." The lack of privacy inhibits : 25 percent of people from urinating, surveys show [JAMA 1/2/91]. Drug testing doesn't even work. Could there be a more important use for it than public safety? It made no difference to the drunk and sleepy subway motorman in the spectacular underground smash-up at the Union Square Station in NYC. Even if he had a drug test before his shift, he still would have had the accident. Non-invasive (eye-hand co-ordination and other) tests w

and consisted of a strict lecture about never, for the rest of his life, talking about his job with anyone except other indoctrinated people. GCSB workers are forbidden to say anything about their work, even to their partners. The indoctrination concluded with Holmes signing the two page indoctrination form, which refers to New Zealand laws for punishing infringements (in the Crimes Act) but which originates primarily in UKUSA regulations. Equivalent forms must be signed by staff throughout the UKUSA alliance. P44- In the middle of 1994 Holmes got his first overseas posting - and a prestigious one at that. He is on a three-year posting to the center of the UKUSA alliance, the enormous NSA headquarters at Fort George G. Meade. This posting was the first ever by a GCSB analyst to the NSA. Before he left New Zealand his daily work, like that of all analysts, revolved entirely around that most striking manifestation of GCSB's links with the NSA: the ECHELON Dictionary system. Each morning the signals intelligence analysts in New Zealand log on at their computer terminals and enter the Dictionary system, just as their equivalents do in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. What follows is a precise description of how the system works, the first time it has been publicly described. [Buy the book for full details] After entering their security passwords, the analysts reach a directory that lists the different categories of intercept available, each with a four digit code; 4066, for instance, might be Russian fishing trawlers, 5535 Japanese diplomatic traffic in the South Pacific, 4959 communications from South Pacific countries and so on. They type in the code for the category they want to use first that day. As soon as they make a selection, a 'search result' appears, stating the number of documents which have been found fitting that category |
