We readily give up our freedoms for safety. Just as Orwell and others predicted.

The US-initiated programme, “Server in the Sky”, would take cooperation between the police forces way beyond the current faxing of fingerprints across the Atlantic. Allies in the “war against terror” – the US, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand – have formed a working group, the International Information Consortium, to plan their strategy. Biometric measurements, irises or palm prints as well as fingerprints, and other personal information are likely to be exchanged across the network. One section will feature the world’s most wanted suspects. The database could hold details of millions of criminals and suspects.
The FBI is keen for the police forces of American allies to sign up to improve international security. The Home Office yesterday confirmed it was aware of Server in the Sky, as did the Metropolitan police.
And then there’s this about how we’re training those who will administer the new watchful state where vote fraud is easy. BTW, the Brit cops are now beating up peace protesters. We here in the states, of course, would have been more civilized and Tased him to death, bro.
1. If they can get this type of DATA from Britain, they will SOON ask it of congress, and the People of the USA.
2. They are ALREADY suggesting that ALL USA citizens BE REQUIRED to have a Passport and OTHER data to make SURE you are NOT an illegal immigrant.
3. HOW secure do you REALLY want to feel?? Do you want to loose your rights to have a gun? Do you want ALL problems to Go thru the courts, which COSTS MORE MONEY, and takes 3 years to GET TO?? Do you want your ABILITY to disapline your kids to GO OUT THE DOOR?? Do you WANt the Gov to be your BABY sitter??
and WHOM do you think is in charge of the Government?? NOT You and ME…
OhForTheLoveOf said, >>> I need no clarification. I know that I and I alone own my information. I’m just waiting… and waiting… and waiting… and waiting… for the United States to get on board.
Clearly you WISH you owned your own private data but you do not. Take your personal credit history — you clearly don’t own that. Anyone with with a little money can buy that and a corporation will sell it — all without your permission or without even informing you that they have it or have sold it.
The same goes for information about your purchasing habits, reading habits, etc. etc.
I think it is wrong and I think it’s un-American but that’s the way it is.
“All your base are belong to us”
I WISH I could SELL my NAME, MYSELF…And make the money these folks are from USING MY NAME.
OK,
Stupid question…
CAN I COPYRIGHT MY ID..My name??
And What recourse do i GAIN??
Now. Do you notice.
(1)The more information collected, by security people the safer we get?
(2)More technology equals better results?
(3)More rules equals less offences?
(1) Quis custodiet ipsos custodes
(2) What. Like in Iraq I presume?
(3) So. Since we employ political masters who do nothing else but pass laws crime/offences have declined?
Rest easy worriers, the morons who will run this lot have no more idea what to do with information than George Bush knows about just what the hell is going to fall out of his mouth next. True. there will be those who are falsely accused, detained, harassed. But that has always been the way. To assume that such individuals or organisations will win, is to assume that the thick will triumph over the thinking.
Now I can’t subscribe to that even in my most drunken moments. My attitude to encourage more of it, let the buggers drown in a sea of information which decreases in usefulness the more you gather. Britsh Police, you should know, spend just 18% of their duty time dealing with crime, the rest is in the nick filling out forms. Lastly. Have you not noticed that the head of Interpol has just been charged with serious bribary charges. He is accused on evidence trails which deserve a place on moronic crooks items in Dvorak Blog. Don’t despair, look at the cock-ups, look at the management. Neanderthal man is not extinct he carries a badge these days.
LAW,
Is supposed to go, something, Like this…
AS LONG as 1/3+ of the people WANT to do it, IT SHOULDNT be against the LAW..
For some reason, the LAW, doesnt SEE it like this.
THIS ideal alone would empty about 1/3 of the Jails and prisons.. and lower COSTS..
