This spying is illegal, massive, and domestic. The documentation is comprehensive, especially since it is now brought together in this one section. o Part 2: On Monitoring and Being Monitored In this section, I describe the capabilities of ECHELON keyword monitoring. A detailed example --- how to use keywords to pick out conversations of interest --- is given. I also p

Mini-recap: o The NSA can listen in on all American citizens' border-crossing communications of any sort without a warrant or any other court procedure, and effectively distribute that information to any and all local law-enforcement agencies. And foreign governments. Loss of Fourth Amendment rights. Not even discussed with the American public. Not even debated by our elected representatives. o Domestic law enforcement agencies can request, receive, and widely disseminate this information without any laws interfering. A major blurring of the lines between Military and civilian control. o Requests for political reasons are acceptable. (last paragraph) o The NSA uses a huge number of computers to listen for "key words" on "watch lists" for ALL border crossing traffic, including voice conversations. That means in 1975 they could convert voice to text, then do keyword searches against it. It's 1997 now. Just how did Unite

Some FBI cars are expected to get them next year. $ "The Body As Password", By Ann Davis, Wired Magazine, July 1997 $ $ In October 1995, the Federal Highway Administration awarded a $400,000 $ contract to San Jose State University's College of Engineering to develop $ standards for a "biometric identifier" on commercial driver's licenses and $ for use in a centralized national database. A centralized national database of biometric information for cross-state driver's licenses, and all individual state driver's license fingerprints available via the FBI's NCIC. Once most people are fingerprinted, a cheap (say $50) fingerprint scanner that attaches a timestamp and government digital signature will be sold for allowing Internet access to "adult" locations---chat rooms, USENET, WWW sites---and it will be mandatory. The Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court said as soon as the "Internet driver's license" is technically feasible, CDA becomes legal. "Such

And what was a critical public safety and national security item the FBI insisted on in the first version of CALEA? They wanted all cellular phones to continually monitor the location of the owner, EVEN WHEN NOT IN USE. Every cellular phone would become a location tracking monitor for the government. And why would this be a critical public safety and national security item? Because: The NSA/FBI are raving rabid frothing-at-the-mouth lying looneys.
