Airport Monitoring of Travellers via Blackberry
glhturbo writes "According to this article in Mass. High Tech, Massachusetts State Police stationed at Logan Airport will soon have access (via Blackberry handhelds) to "7 billion records" containing information on "nearly 98 percent of the U.S. population, including, for example, a person's prior residence and with whom he or she lived, criminal information, court filings, vehicles owned, and even restricted government data." The database is from a Massachusetts company, LocatePlus, started by a former policeman who was "on the waiting list for the FBI". Seems like a good tool, but major potential for abuse, and hopefully no false identifications."
word. bust it.
I was going to comment on the increasing lack of openness in the 'States, but it's looks to falling on dead (or perhaps ears in love with being sold the sweet stench of mass broadcasted self defeat). At best, this kind of action could be seen as an interesting experiment in social organization, however, I think it's more the case that inevitably the one way forward seems so right because it's the only way that's permitted (overtly or not). What are the chances that the right way forward appeals to the 16 year old male demographic. Embrace the homogeny. Stick that in your database and mine it.
I tried 3 times to visit LocatePlus and Mozilla 1.6 crashed silently each time. What's up with that?

tiger tiger burning ass, in the pubic forest in the night
what homosexual hand or eye, could fuck thy fearful symmetry?
In what distand deep asses or skies, spunked the spooge into thy eyes
on what cock does he dare aspire, what the cock dare to rub prick until it catched on fire!
and what meatflaps, and what fart, could twist the sinews of thy sphincter
when thy sphincter began to dilate, What dread hand forged thy dread anus?!
What the ass hammer? What the whipping chains, In what furnace was thy brain?
What the ass anvil, what dread cock grasp, deard its AIDS infected terrors grasp?
When the stars threw down their cocks, And watered heaven with their pussy juice
Did Steve Jobs smile his work to see, Did He who made the piece of shit imac make thee?
Tiger, tiger, burning ANUS!
In the pubic forest of the night!
What homosexual hand or eye
Did buttfuck thy fearful asscrack!
Sir, I've noticed you've submitted short postings on several occasions to a certain web forum, two of them with the heading "In Soviet Russia...". Care to explain to our strike force here exactly what those were about?
What better way to say "That's enough" than two nuclear bursts over Mecca and Medina, with the threat of more. Unfortunately, it's the only language they seem to understand.
