I flew United, Milwaukee>Ohare>Austin for the Netroots Nation bloggers convention last July.
Landing, 2 bags out of 66 passengers were not on the carousel, mine and agnostic's, another raucous Dailykos poster. We were told they'd been mistakenly sent to Scranton, would be delivered to out hotel around midnight. Actually arrived 4:00 the next afternoon, with 2 pieces of tape, one from TSA, and another from Homeland Security. Missing, my hairbrush, and Ms. Agnostic's scarf.
As I connect the dots, when our dossiers were run, an alert HSA drone noticed empty datafields for our DNA. No longer empty.
(I have history, going back to the Nixon enemies list.)
Senators are generally back in their home States this week.
Print out a copy of the FISA Amendments Act, 114 page pdf and track down you Senators appearances, Parades, Fundraisers, etc. Ask if they've read it, and if not, physically hand them the printout, ideally after highlighting the sections you consider problematic. An accomplice video is nice.
Officers can be sued individually when their misconduct steps outside the Department's policies. I'm currently suing a couple for macing me when I was collecting signatures to get on the ballot last June.
If it's Federal cops, it's called a Bivens Action from Bivens v. 6 unknown named federal agents 403US388, 91SCT1999, 29LE2d 619(1971)
Undersecretary of State Frank Moss, the guy who pushed through the chipped passport program, came to the 2005 Conference on Computers Freedom, and Privacy ( http://cfp.org/ ) to demonstrate the tech, and, to his credit, face the critics before the rollout.
After his presentation, we cornered him in the hallway photo Moss, EFF's John Gilmore, travel writer Ed Hasbrouck, and yours truly.
I asked Moss what would happen if one presented a hammered passport at an entry point. "We'll admit you, eventually. But expect to spend a few hours at our tender mercy."
d laid out a nightmare scenario in which terrorists placed chip readers capable of detecting the proximity of US passports as triggers on explosives under the seats of busses, bar seats, etc. Moss apparently grasped the problem, and delayed the introduction of RFID passports until they could be redesigned with shielding to prevent reading when folded closed.
State Assembly Rep Marlin Schneider has submitted legislation to limit retention and release of cellphone location data, such that the cellcos would be required to purge records when no longer needed to complete calls or 911 locate, unless the customer opts in (which would seem to exempt the parental use.
Employers would be allowed to track only with disclosue, and only on paid time.
The proposal's currently waiting on the legislative reference Bureau to reconcile with pre-existing law.
A year ago, when I confronted Sondy Pope-Roberts, the Democratic State Assembly sponsor of Wisconsin's vidgame bill, she said "the pollsters" (I presume Hillary Clinton's,) had told her "This polls higher than anything else we asked."
Sondy's subsequent press release asserted that "86% of 16 year old boys play these [violent] games." Asked why she'd want to alienate 86% of (then) 16 year old boys, some of whom will be eligible to vote this November, and the rest by her next re-election cycle, she responded, "They won't vote anyway."
This, like the DOPA Myspace censorship legislation that just passed the US House with only 15 dissenting votes (roll call) seems to me pretty shortsighted for a Party that will be competing in elections not just in '06 and '08, but on into the future.
The expansion of treatment programs was driven by the high percentage of GIs coming back from Vietnam strung out on heroin, a serious politivcal embarassment.
Toward the end of the War, they were being tested before they were allowed to return.

First half hour is Milwaukee Journal/Sentinal's Washington correspondent Craig Gilbert discussing the Senate race. Then, I'm on for the 2nd 1/2 hr.
Topics include cellphone location tracking, and the DOPA (Deleting Online Predators act), passed in the house last week, which would require schools and libraries to filter chatrooms andsocial networking sites.

There's a 120 day window after passage during which the FTC gets to issue a more precise definition of the sites to be blocked.
c) Definitions- Section 254(h)(7) is amended by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
`(J) COMMERCIAL SOCIAL NETWORKING WEBSITES; CHAT ROOMS- Within 120 days after the date of enactment of the Deleting Online Predators Act of 2006, the Commission shall by rule define the terms `social networking website' and `chat room' for purposes of this subsection. In determining the definition of a social networking website, the Commission shall take into consideration the extent to which a website--
`(i) is offered by a commercial entity;
`(ii) permits registered users to create an on-line profile that includes detailed personal information;
`(iii) permits registered users to create an on-line journal and share such a journal with other users;
`(iv) elicits highly-personalized information from users; and
Since I'm currently a Candidate for office with a presence on Myspace, should this thing pass before my Primary, I've got great standing to seek injunctive relief.
The Nebraska Highway Patrol's got one a few miles west of Fremont, eastbound, and Ohio is monitoring the Turnpike and I-70 near the Indiana line, also monitoring eastbound traffic. Linked to the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) database, these cameras have led to at least several siezures of loads of marijuana.
The chipped passports were originally to have been issued last October. Undersecretary of State Frank Moss, in a rare display of common sense, came to the 2005 Conference on Computers, Freedom, and Privacy to hear out the critics. Travel writer Ed Hasbrouk (his writeup andblog item on his recent TSA runnin) raised the spectre of the chips serving to trigger explosives. Moss got it, and delayed the rollout until shielding could be added to the design.
photo Moss shows his prototype to John Gilmore, as Hasbrouk and I look on.
Since June 1 I've been collectinfg the signatures necessary to Get on the Ballot as a candidate for the United States Senate, challengeing the clueless incumbent Herb Kohl in the Democratic Primary.
As of today, it's official, my 2198 signatures are sufficient.
For a regular November election in the States we may be filling 20 -30 offices, plus a referendum or 4, or 15 in California or Oregon, so hand counting's not so simple. If you pass the paper ballots to pairs of humans each counting a distinct office, you end up with "Did i count that stack yet?" Canada doesn't map.
As originally introduced, Representative pocan took my suggestion of publicly viewable code. As amended in Committee, we got something less desirable, but adequate.
Analysis from the Legislative Reference Bureau
..provides that if an electronic voting machine is used at a polling place, the board of canvassers must perform the recount using the permanent paper record showing the votes cast by each elector, as generated by the machines.
and
The substitute amendment also directs the Elections Board to promulgate rules to ensure the security, review, and verification of software components used with each electronic voting system approved by the board for use at elections in this state. Under the substitute amendment, the board must require each vendor of an electronic voting system to place its software components in escrow with the board. The substitute amendment prohibits the board from providing access to the components to any person except in a recount of an election. If a valid petition for a recount is filed in an election in which an electronic voting system is used to record and tally the votes cast, the board must provide access to the software components used to record and tally the votes to one or more persons designated by each party to the recount if each designee first enters into an agreement with the board under which the designee agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all proprietary information provided to the designee. The substitute amendment permits a county or municipality to contract with the vendor of an electronic voting system to permit a greater degree of access to software components used with the system than is otherwise authorized under the substitute amendment.

"I've read it, Senator, shouldn't you?"
For your own files, yes, apply jointly under FOIA and Privacy Acts.
Time I apply again. Last, applications, in 1979, turned up 850 pages with the FBI, 99 with the Secret Service, and 9 with the Postal inspectors.
