Carrollton, TX (Business Wire). * * Sandia Imaging Systems, a majority owned subsidiary of Lasertechnics, * Inc.(NASDAQ:LASX), today announced that it will supply its digital card * printers to the State of Alabama as part of a major upgrade of the * state's drivers' license program. * * Jean-Pierre Arnaudo, president and chief executive officer of Sandia, * said, "We are pleased to help Alabama in its leadership move to a * secure, fraud-resistant motor vehicle operator card system. Sandia's * state-of-the-art printers and technology for drivers' licenses and * identification cards are proving to be the system of choice." * * Alabama expects to issue about one million new drivers' licenses during * the first year of the program, with a projected growth of 10 percent a * year, Sandia said. The process will take a four-year cycle to supply all * Alabama drivers with the new license as they renew. The Sandia system * is replacing an 11 year-old system. Alabama is switching to the new * license production system to improve the quality and timeliness of * drivers' license issuance, and to reduce counterfeit procurement and * fraudulent alteration. * * The state's system, operated by the Alabama Department of Public Safety * (DPS), will consist of more than 100 issue sites and a central * production facility housing Sandia's in-line, one-pass production * printers. The new system, scheduled to be in operation next year, is * expected to enhance the quality of support services for law enforcement * agencies. * * "In addition to providing increased driver license security, the new * license system will help insure more efficient and reliable customer * service," said C

From: Christian Siebert on 18 Apr 2008 19:34 key to interception of satellite communications is powerful computers that search through these masses of messages for ones of interest. The intercept stations take in millions of messages intended for the legitimate earth stations served by the satellite and then use computers to search for pre-programmed addresses and keywords. In this way they select out manageable numbers (hundreds or thousands) of messages to be searched through and read by the intelligence analysis staff. Many people are vaguely aware that a lot of spying occurs, maybe even on them, but how do we judge if it is ubiquitous or not a worry at all? Is someone listening every time we pick up the telephone? Are all Internet or fax messages being pored over continuously by shadowy figures somewhere in a windowless building? There is almost never any solid information with which to judge what is realistic concern and what is silly paranoia. What follows explains as precisely as possible - and for the first time in public - how the worldwide system works, just how immense and powerful it is and what it can and cannot do. The electronic spies are not ubiquitous, but the paranoia is not unfounded. The global system has a highly secret codename - ECHELON. The intelligence agencies will be shocked to see it named and described for the first time in print. Each station in the ECHELON network has computers that automatically search through millions of intercepted messages for ones containing pre-programmed keywords or fax, telex and email addresses. Every word of every message is automatically searched: they do not need your specific telephone num

Sturges incident: attacked by the FBI Thought Police Squad. Massive corrupt use of governmental law enforcement authority to enforce mere political correctness. Due to its size: by definition not an aberration. It cost one million dollars of our tax money. ---- On June 19, 1997, Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John McCain introduced his own bill (Senator Kerrey co-sponsor) which parrots the Clinton administration's position and forced it to replace the Pro-Code bill. He banged the Drum of War against Child Pornography. * http://cgi.pathfinder.com/netly, By Declan McCullagh * * In the end, it was child pornography that derailed encryption legislation * in the U.S. Senate and dealt a bitter defeat to crypto supporters. * * Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), committee chair and chief sponsor of the * measure, led the attack, saying Congress must "stop child pornography * on the Internet." * * He warned that "allowing encryption to be exported would permit child * pornographers to use it." * * "If it's being used for child pornography? Are we going to say * that's just fine? That's it's just business? I don't think so." * * Sen. John Ashcroft (R-MO) tried to disagree. "It's like photography. We're * not going to [ban] photography if someone takes dirty pictures." * * At this point, one of the more deaf committee members asked, * "Pornography? Are we going to ban pornography?" * * The Senate Commerce Committee then approved McCain's bill. * * For a committee whose bailiwick is commerce, the senators seemed somewhat * detached from their mandate with business taking a backseat. * |
