You might have heard that police are deploying scanners – not only in airports – but also ontrains, buses, ferries, sporting events and on the streets. And see this.

You probably know that the National Security Agency is building a $2 billion dollar facility in Utah which will use the world’s most powerful supercomputer to monitor virtually all phone calls, emails, internet usage, purchases and rentals, break all encryption, and then store everyone’s data permanently.

And that the CIA is trying to tap your communications as well.

You may have heard that drones will soon be flown all over America to spy on us. For example, ABC News reported:

Drones can carry facial recognition cameras, license plate scanners, thermal imaging cameras, open WiFi sniffers, and other sensors.
And they can be armed.

Without privacy and transparency rules — these powerful surveillance tools … have strong potential for misuse.

The military is already using drones over the American homeland to gather information on Americans. See this and this.
AP notes that the American public is wary of drones:

Public worries about drones began mostly on the political margins, but there are signs that they’re going mainstream.

An ACLU lobbyist, Chris Calabrese, said that when he speaks to audiences about privacy issues, drones are what “everybody just perks up over.”

For unbelievable video showing the maneuverability of the new generation of drones, watchthis, this and this.

And remember that drones can be as small as golf balls, birds … or even insects (and see this).

That’s nothing.

Government Will Be Able to Tell What You Ate for Breakfast – Or How Much Adrenaline You’ve Got – from 164 Feet Away

Gizmodo reports today:

Within the next year or two, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will instantly know everything about your body, clothes, and luggage with a new laser-based molecular scanner fired from 164 feet (50 meters) away. From traces of drugs or gun powder on your clothes to what you had for breakfast to the adrenaline level in your body—agents will be able to get any information they want without even touching you. And without you knowing it.
The technology is so incredibly effective that, in November 2011, its inventors weresubcontracted by In-Q-Tel to work with the US Department of Homeland Security. In-Q-Tel is a company founded “in February 1999 by a group of private citizens at the request of the Director of the CIA and with the support of the U.S. Congress.” According to In-Q-Tel, they are the bridge between the Agency and new technology companies.
