Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page JULY 2, 2008-------- Will palm screening replace fingerprint ID? The future of automated identification using body parts (biometrics) is in the palm of your hand, at least that's what Fujitsu Computer Products of America wants you to think. Fujitsu recently unveiled palm-scanning technology for the U.S. market that's already in widespread use in Asia. Hiroko Naito, Fujitsu's business development manager, said the firm's PalmSecure technology uses near-infrared scanning to identify people by the pattern of veins in their palms, which are as distinctive as fingerprints. "It's a contactless device — you just hold your hand over the sensor, so it's hygienic and easy to use," Naito said. "We have heard so many times from customers that the reason they were hesitant about biometrics is that it could be intrusive." The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! JUNE 13, 2008 --------- Kids, Pets & Cars - Personal GPS Tracking Devices On The Rise Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. is pleased to announce that the Company is preparing the release of a new, low-cost, portable GPS tracking device for a wide range of target markets. The 2.6 ounce, pocket-sized CT-100 can be used to track children, pets, sex offenders, vehicles and a limitless number of items. The CT-100 transmits its location to a personal computer, enabling users to track the location of the unit at all times. The CT-100 is currently in the testing phase and scheduled for release later this year. Approximately 2 x 2 inches, it can clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket, and uses a rechargeable battery. The tracking device does not require a line-of-sight with the open sky and can work indoors using a combination of GPS technology and cellular signals. The CT-100 will be marketed to law enforcement and public safety agencies, schools, automotive manufacturers, shipping companies and other industries The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
JUNE 6, 2008 --------- Is GPS Big Help Or Big Brother? These days, your boss can call you on your cell phone on your time off, maybe even over the weekend or while you're on vacation. What about the idea of your boss being able to track where you are and where you've been? The city of Tampa is doing just that. Inspectors in its building department now carry cell phones equipped with global positioning system technology so the city can keep tabs on inspectors. Supervisors hope the GPS gizmos will improve efficiency and crack down on slackers. Employers increasingly are using GPS devices to keep track of workers on the road, especially as the technology gets cheaper and the price of gas rises. But while backers say the trend leads to cost savings and improved customer service, it also has raised questions about privacy and Orwellian employer tactics. One Tampa building inspector describes it as being followed by Big Brother. "It's like, 'Hey, you know, we're watching you,'" said Benjamin Buckley, who has worked for the city for three years and is the union shop steward for the building inspection department. The GPS technology was installed on about 40 inspectors' cell phones about two weeks ago The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! ................................ Cell phone tracking A mobile phone service that lets users track the location of friends and family is launching in the UK for those over 18. The Sniff application sends users a message showing the position of the person they are trying to find, and also a map. The other person also must have signed up for the service, for this to work. Users can choose to become "invisible" if they don't want to be found. It is already available in Scandinavia with 100,000 users. MAY 30, 2008 --------- Orwellian Ubiquitous Computing May Build Ultimate Surveillance Society "...just by walking down the street you could be subject to a personal biometric system, you could be scanned by the gateway of the transit system, there could be something embedded in the street or in the flooring beneath you... you could be touching other tangible interfaces in the environment around you... the lamp posts and the other features of the streetscape could have informational services... and last but not least there's the surveillance element, there's a UAV, a robotic helicopter which is also surveying the cityscape and communicating with all of these devices... This is really what I mean by a transformation of the relationship between user and device. This person is not a user anymore in any real sense of the English world, they are a subject." The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! MAY 29, 2008 --------- Big brother at work with the MORYNE project European researchers say public buses could be turned into mobile sensing platforms, sending out information for traffic management, road safety and even hazard alerts. The research could help improve road safety, allowing traffic controllers, police and other services to access up-to-date information from any number of public buses already on the streets. Another part of the project is to develop a bus mounted road camera, a powerful video device that can detect traffic conditions around a bus. The system can be used to spot unauthorized cars in a bus lane and inform the police. It can also be used to count the number of vehicles in adjoining lanes and measure their speed, helping to alert a city traffic-monitoring center of road conditions on the ground, in real time. The devices are quite small and powerful. Software can be developed that could analyze images to detect if a fight breaks out on the bus and automatically alert the police.

MAY 22, 2008 --------- UK: 'Big Brother' database for phones and e-mails A massive government database holding details of every phone call, e-mail and time spent on the internet by the public is being planned as part of the fight against crime and terrorism. Internet service providers (ISPs) and telecoms companies would hand over the records to the Home Office under plans put forward by officials. MAY 21, 2008 --------- BIG BROTHER GPS system to track students everywhere they go with truancy tracker In the next two minutes, four teenagers will drop out of school. The national average is one every 26 seconds. Dallas truancy courts handle 20,000 cases every year. Many of those are referred to the juvenile justice system, which often sends the teenagers to jail. Using satellite technology, a pilot program may be able to turn the tide on Dallas drop outs by stopping truancy in its tracks. It’s called AIM, which stands for Attendance Improvement Management. The program attempts to steer kids back on track by watching them everywhere they go. This year, nine students in the tracking program carry hand held units that are about the size and shape of a cell phone. When they get to school each morning, they check in by hitting a small button three times. They do the same thing once during lunch and again when they get home each afternoon. The signals show up as yellow dots on a website monitored by an attendant at the school. They are updated every ten minutes. If a student isn’t at the right place, the attendant calls parents or police. Last year, several students in truancy trouble wore ankle bracelets as part of a GPS tracking system, but critics deemed that too similar to criminal monitoring programs. Now the system has been modified. Pottinger said he has prepared a plan to enroll 450 kids at two DISD campuses .................................. Waging War Online The Air Force wants a suite of hacker tools, to give it "access" to -- and "full control" of -- any kind of computer there is. And once the info warriors are in, the Air Force wants them to keep tabs on their "adversaries' information infrastructure completely undetected." The government is growing increasingly interested in waging war online. The Air Force recently put together a "Cyberspace Command," with a charter to rule networks the way its fighter jets rule the skies. The Department of Homeland Security, Darpa, and other agencies are teaming up for a five-year, $30 billion "national cybersecurity initiative." That includes an electronic test range, where federally-funded hackers can test out the latest electronic attacks. "You used to need an army to wage a war," a recent Air Force commercial notes. "Now, all you need is an Internet connection." On Monday, the Air Force Research Laboratory introduced a two-year, $11 million effort to put together hardware and software tools for "Dominant Cyber Offensive Engagement." "Of interest are any and all techniques to enable user and/or root level access," a request for proposals notes, "to both fixed (PC) or mobile computing platforms... any and all operating systems, patch levels, applications and hardware." This isn't just some computer science study, mind you; "research efforts under this program are expected to result in complete functional capabilities." Unlike an Air Force colonel's proposal, to knock down enemy websites with military botnets, the Research Lab is encouraging a sneaky, "low and slow" approach. The preferred attack consists of lying quiet, and then "stealthily exfiltrating information" from adversaries' networks The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! APRIL 28, 2008 --------- BRITAIN TO INTRODUCE FACE SCANS AT AIRPORTS The plan was revealed in the newspaper Friday. The paper says the trials were approved at a conference in London this week including international biometrics industry executives, top civil servants in border control, and police technology experts. It quotes a British Border Agency saying a machine can do a better job of scanning passports and exposing identity fraud than humans. An official at the Border Agency, speaking to VOA on condition of anonymity, confirmed the Guardian story. A statement released to VOA quotes Immigration Minister Liam Byrne calling Britain's border security as among the toughest in the world. He said that if the automatic gates work, they will be installed at all key airports. But Phil Booth of No2ID, an organization campaigning against the introduction of ID cards in Britain, says the new technology is just another intrusion by the government. ‘The technologies that the government introduces that they say are about security are nothing of the sort,’ he said. ‘It's security theater. It's trying to bamboozle people with some new bits of technology and say it's about security when in fact it's about just gathering and sharing more of your information without your knowledge and consent.’ Booth says the technology, besides being more data gathering by the government on citizens, is not efficient. ‘Our understanding from industry, speaking with people who supply this sort of recognition systems is that they simply don't perform well enough in real world situations for them to recognize people in a queue,’ he added. He also criticized the introduction at a time when some high profile cases concerning the loss of personal data by the government have come to light. Last November two computer disks containing personal and financial data of some 25 million Britons disappeared after a junior employee of the British Revenue and Customs Office sent them to an audit office using an internal mail service. At least eight million Britons hold biometric passports. The computer chips in them hold the carriers' facial details The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! APRIL 15, 2008 --------- D.C. police set to monitor 5,000 cameras D.C. officials are giving police access to more than 5,000 closed-circuit TV cameras citywide that monitor traffic, schools and public housing — a move that will give the District one of the largest surveillance networks in the country. "The primary benefit of what we're doing is for public health and safety," said Darrell Darnell, director of the city's Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency, who announced the initiative along with Mayor Adrian M. Fenty yesterday. But the announcement left some civil liberties advocates and a key D.C. Council member concerned. "We've been sort of sounding the alarm on this stuff for a long time, saying these little pieces — they grow," said Art Spitzer, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of the National Capital Area. "You put a camera here, it's not so bad, you put a camera there, it's not so bad. But then it turns out all the sudden, we find out there are 5,200 cameras. That's a big number.

APRIL 14, 2008 --------- India Gets Smart Cards with finger biometrics Finger biometrics and photographs will be integrated with individual records in the Multi-Purpose National Identity Cards (MNIC) to be issued to each citizen after the next census in 2011. Since the logistical and financial requirement for the national roll-out will be "enormous", it has been proposed that data collection for preparation of National Population Register (NPR) for the country would be undertaken along with the 2011 census. The Smart Cards, as the MNIC is popularly known, will carry a National Identity Number and will be given to every citizen above 18 years. The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! APRIL 10, 2008 --------- The Already Big Thing on the Internet: Spying on Users In 1993, the dawn of the Internet age, the liberating anonymity of the online world was captured in a well-known New Yorker cartoon. One dog, sitting at a computer, tells another: “On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.” Fifteen years later, that anonymity is gone. It’s not paranoia: they really are spying on you. Technology companies have long used “cookies,” little bits of tracking software slipped onto your computer, and other means, to record the Web sites you visit, the ads you click on, even the words you enter in search engines — information that some hold onto forever. They’re not telling you they’re doing it, and they’re not asking permission. Internet service providers are now getting into the act. Because they control your connection, they can keep track of everything you do online, and there have been reports that I.S.P.’s may have started to sell the information they collect. The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! March 24, 2008 --------- Comcast Cameras to Start Watching You? If you have some tinfoil handy, now might be a good time to fashion a hat. At the Digital Living Room conference today, Gerard Kunkel, Comcast’s senior VP of user experience, told me the cable company is experimenting with different camera technologies built into devices so it can know who’s in your living room. The idea being that if you turn on your cable box, it recognizes you and pulls up shows already in your profile or makes recommendations. If parents are watching TV with their children, for example, parental controls could appear to block certain content from appearing on the screen. Kunkel also said this type of monitoring is the “holy grail” because it could help serve up specifically tailored ads. Yikes. Kunkel said the system wouldn’t be based on facial recognition, so there wouldn’t be a picture of you on file (we hope). Instead, it would distinguish between different members of your household by recognizing body forms. He stressed that the system is still in the experimental phase, that there hasn’t been consumer testing, and that any rollout “must add value” to the viewing experience beyond serving ads..... ............................ Which biometric ID will lead the future? You're an individual; you're unique; and you have the fingerprints to prove it. Since fingerprints were first used as a means of identification in 1892, they have become the golden standard for identification. Everyone — including monozygotic twins who have identical DNA — has their own unique set of prints. But, as countless movies and episodes of 'CSI' have shown, fingerprints can be tampered with. Easily removed or unintentionally damaged through occupational hazards, fingerprints can also be easily duplicated. As concerns with identity theft and security increase, we are turning to more sophisticated ways of proving our 'identity'. Fingerprinting is one of the most basic forms of biometrics, which is a method of identifying humans based on one or more intrinsic physical or behavioral traits. The method works by comparing an input sample with a template. As it turns out, our fingerprints are not the only things that are unique — so too are our hands, faces, irises, retinas and vein structure. We also have a number of unique behavioral characteristics such as the way we type, speak (also physiological) and sign our name. Some of these — such as the retina and vein layout — are almost impossible to change or tamper with. Biometric identification is, however, not without its concerns. All data, including biometrics, is vulnerable in storage or in a state of processing. Because we have a limited number of biometric samples, they become more difficult to replace. If you forget a password or if your access token is stolen, you can always cancel the old one and get a replacement. If, however, your biometric samples are compromised, you will be unable to replace them. So, while biometrics potentially increase personal security, they also pose a bigger threat in the case of identity theft The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! March 18, 2008 --------- Rapid ID biometrics deployed in Florida Washington-based Sagem Morpho says its biometric technologies deployment by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement marks a milestone for the company. Officials say the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's incorporation of Sagem Morpho's Rapid ID fingerprint identification system marks the first public safety organization in the United States with statewide biometrics use for remote rapid identification. Company officials say the system provides the officers with identification in less than 15 seconds of individuals with criminal records. The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! March 7, 2008 --------- UK ID DATABASE WILL BE 'UNIVERSAL' BY 2017 All British citizens will be signed up to a national ID scheme within 10 years under plans outlined by the Government today. Millions of people in sensitive jobs, including teachers, carriers and health workers will be among the first to be entered onto the identity register. Up to 100,000 airport staff will be issued with unique personal identity number starting later this year in a bid to kick-start the multi-billion pound project. Foreign nationals working in Britain will be issued with cards over the next two years. From 2010 young people will be able to get an identity card if they choose. Later that year the scheme will be opened to voluntary applicants of any age. From 2011 - after the next general election - anyone applying for a new passport will automatically be fingerprinted and their personal details logged on the database. In one change from original plans, Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, said it will be possible to decline the card itself and rely upon a passport as an identity document. Miss Smith said the aim of the timetable was to make coverage of the population ‘universal’ by 2017. Either at that point, or earlier, there will be a vote in parliament to cover the rest of the population still not on the register. Miss Smith said there would be greater involvement for the private sector in delivering the scheme. There would also be a ‘consumer-driven roll-out’ of the project to try to encourage more people to join the scheme voluntarily .................... Palm vein scanning promises accurate results The technology is being displayed at the International Security National Resilience Exhibition and Conference that started on Sunday in Abu Dhabi. The latest technology enables fool proof identification of individuals even better then iris scan and is an efficient and simple security system for personal computers, industry officials said. One can open personal computers by just flashing your palm vein to the scanner. "It was reported that cancer [disease] may affect the iris which makes loopholes on the identification based on it," said Peter Scharfetter, Product Manager, Biometric Center of Siemens which displayed the palm vein scanner and reader system at the exhibition. "But palm vein scanning has overcome that loophole," said Scharfetter. His colleague explained that latest version of the 'touch less' palm vein scanner does the job faster and does not need the object within limited range.

March 4, 2008 --------- Big Brother is Watching: The 2007 Electronic Monitoring And Surveillance From e-mail monitoring and Website blocking to phone tapping and GPS tracking, employers increasingly combine technology with policy to manage productivity and minimize litigation, security, and other risks. To motivate compliance with rules and policies, more than one fourth of employers have fired workers for misusing e-mail and nearly one third have fired employees for misusing the Internet, according to the 2007 Electronic Monitoring and Surveillance Survey from American Management Association (AMA) and The ePolicy Institute. Employers who use Assisted Global Positioning or Global Positioning Systems satellite technology are in the minority, with only 8% using GPS to track company vehicles; 3% using GPS to monitor cell phones; and fewer than 1% using GPS to monitor employee ID/Smartcards. The majority (52%) of companies employ Smartcard technology to control physical security and access to buildings and data centers. Trailing far behind is the use of technology that enables fingerprint scans (2%), facial recognition (0.4%) and iris scans (0.4%). The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page February 2 7, 2008 ---------Students will start using fingerprints in the lunch line South Washington County School District 833 students might soon be using their fingers to pay for lunch instead of tapping in personal identification numbers. Nutrition Services got the go-ahead from the school board Feb. 21, to test a fingerprint system for 90 days at Cottage Grove Elementary School to see if it speeds up lunch lines. ........................ Foreigners In The UK face fines over Biometric ID cards Foreign nationals living in Britain who boycott the introduction of the biometric identity card later this year could face losing their right to stay, under proposals published yesterday. A Home Office consultation paper also reveals that those who refuse to make or turn up to an appointment to scan their fingerprints and facial image will face a £250 fine, rising to £1,000 for persistent refusal. Those who fail to tell police if they lose their ID card will face a fine of £125. The sanctions regime proposed for the compulsory ID card for foreign nationals, which comes into effect from November, is expected to be a pilot for the UK residents' ID cards to be introduced from next year.

Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page February 25, 2008 ---------Targeting offenders before they strike - doctors and teachers to act as 'informers' in new 'Minority Report' plans for Britain Doctors, teachers and social workers will be told to act as informers to identify potential violent offenders for monitoring by the police and other agencies. Ministers hope that by spotting binge-drinkers, drug addicts and young gang members early before they commit serious crimes they can be placed on a national database and steered away from offending behavior. The plans have been dubbed the Minority Report powers, a reference to the 2002 Tom Cruise movie in which a futuristic "precrime" police unit uses psychics to arrest and imprison criminals just before they carry out attacks. But civil liberty campaigners and union bosses warned that such intrusive measures by the Home Office would destroy the relationship of trust between GPs and their patients or social workers and clients. They would also put professionals at risk of reprisals if they are seen as police informers The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!

Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page February 18, 2008 ---------***WATCHMAN... Though this is NOT CHIPPING - how CLOSE IT IS... Every child in school numbered for life All 14-year-old children in England will have their personal details and exam results placed on an electronic database for life under a plan to be announced tomorrow. Colleges and prospective employers will be able to access students’ records online to check on their qualifications. Under the terms of the scheme all children will keep their individual number throughout their adult lives, The Times has learnt. The database will include details of exclusions and expulsions. Officials said last night that the introduction of the unique learner number (ULN) was not a step towards a national identity card. But it will be seen as the latest step in the Government’s broader efforts to computerize personal records. Last night teachers’ leaders, parents’ organizations, opposition MPs and human rights campaigners questioned whether this Big Brother approach was necessary and said that it could compromise the personal security of millions of teenagers .......................... Police Go Live Monitoring D.C. Crime Cameras D.C. police are now watching live images from dozens of surveillance cameras posted in high-crime parts of the city, hoping to respond faster to shootings, robberies and other offenses and catch suspects before they get away. Since August 2006, the city has installed 73 cameras across the city, mostly on utility poles, at a cost of about $4 million. But until recently, officers were using them mainly as an investigative tool -- checking the recordings after crimes were committed in hopes of turning up leads and evidence. Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier said she thought the department wasn't making the most of the technology and was missing opportunities to more quickly solve crimes -- or even stop them in progress. "I thought, 'Why the heck aren't we watching them?' " Lanier said. And so, for about 40 hours a week, a small team of officers in the department's Joint Operations Command Center watches the live feeds from 10 to 15 of the cameras. The District is following cities such as Baltimore, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia, where police have actively monitored live camera scenes for years. London is often credited with having the most extensive network -- 500,000 cameras that make up the "Ring of Steel," dating to the early 1990s The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page February 15, 2008 ---------EU PLANS BIOMETRIC BORDER CHECKS Visitors to the EU could face digital fingerprinting at airports under plans to beef up border security, EU Justice Commissioner Franco Frattini has said. He said travelers from outside the EU could face a biometric test as part of their visa while those not needing a permit would be checked on arrival. There are also plans to improve border surveillance and land and sea patrols. Rights group Privacy International said the move could create a ‘fortress Europe’ for foreigners. The proposals for a radical shake-up of the EU's border security were unveiled by Mr. Frattini in Brussels. The commissioner said the 27-member bloc had to use ‘the most advanced technology to reach the highest level of security’ to stop visitors overstaying their welcome in Europe and to prevent terrorists from coming in. The plans would also allow for a Registered Traveler Program to enable EU citizens to pass through customs with only random checks. That could be extended to include non-EU citizens on multiple visas The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!

The biometric payment system is from Altoona, Pa.-based FSS Inc. To begin, parents went online and entered payment information to fund the account. Students were enrolled in the fingerprint system a couple of weeks before the new payments system was rolled out in the cafeteria. Now when a student is going through the cafeteria line they place a finger on a scanner and their picture pop up on the cashier’s display. The cashier enters what the student is having for lunch and the money is deducted from the account. The school deployed the system to speed up cafeteria lines, according to a letter on the Juan Diego High School Web site. School officials also wanted to enable parents to go online and then see what their child is having for lunch. The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!

But it's an issue that raises major privacy concerns -- what one civil liberties expert says should concern all Americans. The bureau is expected to announce in coming days the awarding of a $1 billion, 10-year contract to help create the database that will compile an array of biometric information -- from palm prints to eye scans The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!

Biometric Finger vein scans A system developed by Hitachi transmits infra-red light into a part of the finger being scanned, which is absorbed by haemoglobin in the blood, causing the person's vein pattern to show up as dark lines. The image can be captured by a special digital camera. The technology, which will be showcased at Hitachi's Inspire Life event in London this month, is being used by cash machines in Japan, as well as door controls and laptops. By 2010 finger vein scanners will appear in cars, requiring a match for the engine to start. The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page February 4, 2008 --------- State spying that would make the Stasi proud When it was passed into law, the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (2000) sounded a pretty innocuous piece of legislation. But in truth it represented a significant victory for the busybody state over our ancient liberties. Labour claimed it was responding to demands from civil liberties campaigners for more control over state snooping. But it soon became clear that the legislation which Jack Straw, then Home Secretary, was introducing would have the opposite effect, massively expanding the ability of the public sector to pry into our private lives. The Act, which has been quietly amended several times (each time handing more powers to the public sector), now gives an unprecedented range of state agencies the right to listen to our phone conversations, tap our emails and open our post......

Security screening for arriving passengers has been stepped up yet again at American airports. Screening for arriving passengers has been stepped up yet again at American airports, but it is suspected there are flaws in new fingerprint-scanning technology. Last week, Logan airport, in Boston, became the third US airport to install the 10-finger scanners. Dulles airport, which serves Washington, DC, began using the devices in November and Atlanta airport began this month. By the end of the year, the devices will be installed at every international airport in the USA, as well as at seaports and border crossings. Non US residents have had two fingers scanned on entry since 2004, but the Department of Homeland Security believes the 10-finger standard will allow easier identification of undesirables, ...based on full or partial prints left at the scene of a crime or collected from terrorist safe houses or battlefields.

Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page January 30, 2008 --------- UK PHONES TAPPED AT THE RATE OF 1,000 A DAY Britain is in danger of becoming a ‘surveillance state’ as authorities including councils launch bugging operations against 1,000 people a day. Councils, police and intelligence services are tapping and intercepting the phone calls, emails and letters of hundreds of thousands of people every year, an official report said. Those being bugged include people suspected of illegal fly-tipping as councils use little known powers to carry out increasingly sophisticated surveillance to catch offenders. The report, by Sir Paul Kennedy, the Interception of Communications Commissioner, has fuelled fears that Britain is becoming a state where private communications are routinely monitored. It also found that more than 1,000 of the bugging operations were flawed. In some cases, the phones of innocent people were tapped simply because of administrative errors. David Winnick, a Labour member of the Commons home affairs committee, said greater legal protection was needed to prevent abuse of surveillance powers. Britain already has more CCTV cameras per person than any other country in the world. He said: ‘Most of these operations are needed and done for good reasons, but the numbers do raise concerns about the safeguards we have put in place to protect people from constant intrusion.’ Referring to George Orwell's vision of a surveillance state, Mr. Winnick added: ‘To walk blindfolded into 1984 is not anything that anybody in their right mind would want.’ Michael Parker of NO2ID, which campaigns against ID cards, said the figures showed the state's desire to gather more information about |
