The AC with day jobs that have security clearances can only use the AC part of sites like this.
To put their side of the collect it all story.
The color of law fiction they got told that makes decades of illegal domestic spying feel legal.
Re 'things that only our legislators can affect"
That was attempted in the 1970's. The NSA and CIA one into a private room with US politicians.
The use of budgets and the US legal system attempted to stop illegal domestic spying.
The CIA just went full Iran Contra to get new funds and outpace any US changes to CIA funding.
Nothing changed to domestic US collection.
But the world now knows about PRISM, the junk US big brand crypto. The social media spying.
The telco spying. The illegal domestic collection.
People try to share passports.
Skilled people sell fake US passports.
People in the US gov sell real new US passports for money to anyone with money.
People create a series of fake and real documents all over the USA to build up a new identity to then get a real US passport.
So the photo in a US passport cannot be trusted as the entire creation of a US passport cannot be trusted.
People walking around wanting to enter the USA can get passport form any nation selling passports. Nations that give away their citizenship to anyone who walks into their nation. Nations with no real passports creation ability.
A lot of different ways of getting a new US passport. A lot of ways of getting a real passport from some other random nation for money or as a person with no paperwork.
The USA now has a few more databases and cameras to finally see if a face on a presented passport is a face that has existed in the USA, is of interest in another nation. Separated from data and a photo in a fake or new passport.
An image can show a person real origin story globally. Rather than the story their "new" passport image was created around.
Advanced facial recognition can work on an almost 3d series of side, top down, looking up image of a face.
Beards and glasses do not create a problem as so many other measurements are taken of a face.
Modern facial recognition has had a lot of nations spend a lot of money on funding to ensure a face can be detected and the measurements will be correct and the results fast.
Passports can be fake (created for a person using fake information), real using a different person for one occasion, shared over a longer term.
Some nations don't have a functioning passport service.
Nations will create a passport for cash rather than see if that person is a citizen.
People arrive in the USA with fake created documents. Fictional new documents created to allow them to "move" to the USA and start a new life.
People who have lived in the USA for years illegally under a fake name who want to then use that name or another new name in a "real" passport.
The collection of real state and federal "documents" to allow for a US passport application by an illegal migrant.
Now the USA finally has the legal and political ability to control its entry and exits, just like any other normal nation.
Re "1 hour window of opportunity to compromise a phone"
Police move in. The well educated computer aware protester shuts their trendy new big brand phone off.
Police make arrests. Time taken to fill the van, bus back to the police station due to more arrests. Questions about name, ability to call to lawyer. Identity and citizenship questions. More time passes given the numbers arrested.
Property gets sorted. An advanced new phone is discovered beyond the exiting guides police have on most new big brand US phones. A tech expert is contacted.
The tech expert arrives to support police in their need to look at the data in the new phone..
One hour has passed.
A first direct question about the dongle location is asked.
Users observed during testing would press the dongle in wrong and damage the delicate notch.
Better cartoons got tested by artists so users will now know how to hold the dongle.
The better cartoons and artwork is now ready so the product is now ready for average users.
A factory crafted idongle that only works with the iproduct it got made with. Together at a factory in a distant nation with laws about working with the police...
Re It didn't. Now what?
The CIA and NSA faced closed gov question is the 1970's. That was it.
The thinking goes that budgets got restricted.
Iran Contra was the thinking around any such US gov funding changes to world wide CIA activities.
The US gov said no more funds? Create your own agency funds using products and services that are in demand and do the mission.
The US had a good system for that in the 1950-1980's
The FBI would interview and walk the life story of anyone wanting a clearance.
Their faith, politics, citizenship, any crimes, reading material, hobbies, unusual lifestyles, spending habits, debts, education, ability to learn, politics while getting an education, mil service.
That would need interviews. A look at and talk with friends, teachers, educators, mil, coworkers. Did that person exist in the part of the USA they said they did.
That later stopped when contractors did their own digital background investigations on people seeking work within the US gov.
A state and federal database showed a person was a US citizen and that they are looking for work? Got a computer skill, language? Welcome to the exciting world of contractor work. A security clearance was just a part of the job not a reason for not getting a job.
The idea is that the contractors have new ideas about detecting media contacting traits.
Lots of new contacts for psychiatrists and psychologists.
The tracking of spending habits, holidays, web use, reading material.
Any attempt to complain internally. Any use of the internal legal system to report problems and irregularities.
The study of anyone with a clearance 4 hops from a person with a clearance who feels the need to report a problem.
The main thrust is spending habits, hobbies, changes to online searches.
Staff who discover what they are doing is not legal and know they have no way to report US wide domestic spying to anyone at work.
The contracts who have studied past media contact by US mil/gov workers with clearances think they have found the first changes that show a later reach out to US media.
Have an automated system to track such changes over all staff and detection is more easy.
The buddy system is needed for two reasons.
The US cannot trust anyone contractor with secret systems anyone due to a lack of background information on any one worker.
Too may people got hired too quickly for the FBI or FBI like investigations to walk and interview the past of all cleared workers.
Workers with primal issues, who lied, who cant be trusted, who have a split loyalty to another faith/nation now fill many very sensitive jobs.
The skill level is also a problem. Too many people got hired with few math/science skills. The US gov/mil was told to hire people and not question merit, skill.
Not having a loyal background to the USA due to faith, cult, support another nation, politics would not exclude a person from getting a security clearance.
The US security services had to better reflect communities all over the USA. Security and having any skills would not block that political change to hiring more people from different parts of the USA.
The buddy system is the last ability to ensure at least one person can be trusted when 2 people are working.
Two workers provided to do what one worker could do in the past? Thats 100% more profit to a contractor providing services and workers to the US gov/mil.
Every decade the US mil and gov get sold on AI.
Someone has to pay for a really fast GPU. The experts to then say it an AI project as to the funding
Remember the AI winter AC? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The problem with Clean, ATOMIC Energy was that it was only fun when the US gov was asking for a nuclear weapons production line out the side of the nuclear plant.
The cost to design Clean, ATOMIC Energy was not a low cost.
That ATOMIC energy then had to sell for less than hydro, coal, oil, gas, later solar and wind to stay in demand.
Then the US fuel cycle was different and had to look after its waste on site.
All the new security, storage, upgrades, spare parts, new computers, next germination of staff with security clearances.
Finding the nuclear weapons experts to design busy "work" to hide the US nuclear weapons production lines from the UN.
Finding people to buy/design a part for a 40 year old system. Having other experts to see if the new part will last 40 years.
Then covering the costs of closing down a nuclear power plant. Cleaning up. Storing the years of waste.
Getting gov approval to run for another 40 years. But the cracks then need to be fixed as the plant falls apart.
The money is just not in the nuclear power without the hidden profit of the US needing new nuclear weapons for decades.
The USA likes to set aside its own raw materials in "national" parks and other gov controlled wilderness areas.
No rail to a mine, no new mine, no US citizens finding mineral wealth and exporting the raw materials.
A car park and a forest is what the USA sets aside.
That allows a US company to extract the raw materials for cents in the $ from an Asia, Africa, South America.
No pollution in the USA. No tailings dam. No new rail road up into Alaska to open up new mines.
The USA never used a lot of its energy and mineral wealth.
If a "ghastly mistake" ever happens the US can return to the land it set aside and mine within the USA again.
Sell the set aside material to the US gov at "war" prices if ever needed. No pollution rules to worry about.
Until then needed energy and minerals get imported at a low cost. Cents on the $.
Just doing fast sorting on costs of data is not good evolve people are expecting. Thats just more hardware and software funding providing faster results from larger existing data sets.
The world knows of the big US brands that helped and supported PRISM.
The networks that did not have the skills to detect gov collect it all deep in their most secure big brand networks.
The big US brands that sold and gave away junk crypto as crypto standards.

Not a member of a social media brand?
Ban it from the browser, OS until a user wants to register a social media account and be spied on.
The only understanding needed is how to get more gov/mil funding for AI this decade.
Just doing fast sorting on costs of data is not good evolve people are expecting. Thats just more hardware and software funding providing faster results from larger existing data sets.
At this rate the offical declassification will catch up with the media publication.

Illegal domestic spying AC. Something that should have stopped in the 1970's AC.
Too much overtime and contractors with trendy jobs to stop now.
Listening in is addictive to the political leaders and the NSA budgets that grow.
Great for the NSA, FBI, DEA. The live mic, voice prints all over the USA and beyond. Its PRISM for the wrist.
