All contractors will now get very deep polygraph investigations. Their internet use will be watched, any contact with journalists, internet sites found to be supportive of whistleblowing, changes in spending habits, searching for holidays. Any downloads of cryptography that could be used to contact journalists by contractors will be reported.
Two random strangers with strong accents will approach random contractors offering them cash for US/NATO secrets. That will be the local FBI. The contractor will be expected to report all such approaches.
That will keep watch over all contractors at home, when away from work, at parties, church, the gym, laundromat. Anywhere a charming spy might try to reach out to a contractor.
Medial contractors will preform long term and lots of testing on all contractors to work out their whistleblowing and spying potential. Would their faith, politics, need for wealth, need for a friend make them sell secrets? Just give all US secrets over decades to another nation due to their faith, politics?
The second new innovation will be the buddy system at work.
No contractor will be allowed to work on any CIA, NSA, NATO, 5 eye collection systems alone.
The idea that two people from the same faith, cult, dual citizens with the same politics could work together for hours would never be an issue.
The buddy system, spy proof.
In the past spies, cults, faith groups has to risk walking around a base, port and try making friends with gov workers, mil, contractors, staff.
It was a risk and the FBI was always looking for spies, creating fake workers to lure in spies.
Years of making friends, working out who needed a friend, who could be blackmailed, who would just give secrets, who would sell US secrets.
Years of trying to get a cult member, spy, dual citizen a job on base and have them improve their clearances over decades.
Now spies, cults, faith groups, competitors, rival contractors can download US mil/gov/NATO secrets in plain text from the comfort of their own nations, global offices 24/7.
No more standing around outside a US port, base, camp, fort. No more cover stories, paper work, spy camera, finding a photocopier on base without a paper use counter.

It just has to be some other nations fault with their new sonic spying.
The sonic collection method has expanded from one US embassy to now include parts of the USA.
With the loud noises, bizarre sounds, weird noises, odd sounds.
They have placed their human spies deep within the command and policy setting structures of the US and UK mil, governments.
Why worry about "social media" when US and UK gov policy is been created by decades of well placed spies.
Other nations don't worry about social media in the same way the USA wasted billions trying to "sway" people.
"Social media" does not change a persons faith and what their faith will always command them to do.
Smart nations, faiths, cults, criminals just line their spies up at UK and UK job fairs and recruiting efforts on university campuses.
Over decades some move up to upper and middle management passing any efforts at detection by MI5, FBI.
A polygraph investigation (the test is just color of law cover for the long term investigation) won't find a person who is not lying and has never been corrupt.
Well placed spies then move to more trusted parts of the UK and UK mil thanks to changes in who needs to be added to the security services. Security is now second place to hiring lots of different people from all over the UK and USA with very different backgrounds. Other governments, cults, faith groups, criminal groups just line their clean, trusted spies up at jobs fairs and note who many of their best students get accepted every decade.
In the past the US and UK really put some thought into getting trustworthy staff. Now its just about virtue signalling that all kinds of applicants are welcome.
Social media spying is not that important for spying, other nations, cults, faiths, gangs, criminal groups have that covered with decades of their own people deep in the US, UK police, security services, special forces and mil.
The other aspect other nations really like using US and UK social media is to find US and UK spies trying to pass as low level UK, USembassy workers in their own nations.
The US and UK will often try and place advanced mil/university graduates with amazing "skills" in with their low ranking embassy staff.
Other nations use years of collected and stored social media to track back over embassy workers education and work history.
Private detectives and contractors who do complex background and reference checks will often be able to show when and how a persons social media was altered or created by US/UK clandestine services to create a fake history for a created embassy worker.
Its hard to pass a created image of a person enjoying a party with no link to the US mil when private detectives have saved images of the same person in a different part of the USA in the mil years ago. Collect it all was low cost and a lot of early social media was saved in real time.
The US mil really likes its Military–industrial complex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...–industrial_complex
Think of a world that allowed to US mil to spend millions on its own internal, secure networks.
Thats billions in build and long term support contracts lost to the shareholders and outside contractors.
What the US mil could secure for millions has been given to contractors to look after for billions. That money is gone. The once very secret and secure US mil data is.... ????
The contractors just took the funding and spent it on parties, gifts, holidays and home renovations?
So builders of UAV, USV, UGS, UMS grants just did nothing for the past years?
No more thinking about the Unmanned Systems Integrated Roadmap?
"Pentagon Issues 25-Year Unmanned Systems Roadmap" (January 3, 2014) https://www.ainonline.com/avia...
Give great speeches that people in different parts of the USA want to listen to.
Ensure that every state is included in visits by a charming politician who can give a long speech.
Find a candidate who can keep talking for a long time.
"Fake news" and "social media" cannot actually make a politician not show up in person all over the different parts of the USA and give a good speech.
People all over the USA remember who they went to see in person and their ability to give a great speech.
Dont lecture people in different states from the elite coast. All the other states can sway that US election so be more aware of local issues all around the USA.
Dont speak of people all over the USA in a negative way. You need their vote and voters do remember all the negative words used to describe their nice parts of the USA.
Try been positive about each part of the USA and just listen to their needs.
Dont stay on the elite east and west coast giving short lectures to the rest of the USA.
Talk about jobs, freedom and wealth. Real people want real ideas about good jobs, education, housing, not more negative lectures on elite issues.
A really great candidate can get out the vote all over the USA. Staying on elite coast talking points did not win an election.
Election observers from different political parties ensured no federal level "hacking" could happen.
Each city, state, town voted for a person they wanted elected.
The vote got counted and the results showed who the US states wanted elected.
Other nations did not bus out millions of their embassy staff to vote in person all over the USA. The FBI would have noticed a few extra million embassy staff in the USA at that time.
Other nations did not vote in the millions all over the USA. Other nations did not "hack" the computer vote as US elections do not get all counted digitally by one national computer.
The votes get counted and the count is observed locally all over the USA.
Real people all over different parts of the USA selected the person they wanted.
If a political party wants their vote, fly out to their state and talk to lots of people in person.
Re "They are supposed to hire the best of the best. And they keep getting caught on all sorts of fracas?"
The GCHQ and NSA had crypto all worked out until the first networked home/desktop computers of the early 1980's. Real time decryption of junk standard global cryptic systems.
All commercial, NATO/mil/gov, many nations diplomatic, banking encryption that was sold as a standard in the West was totally understood by the NSA and GCHQ from the 1950-80's
The 1980's desktop computers gave the user the ability to create and use their own working, low cost, free encryption. Encryption that was not weak, junk, gov/mil plain text ready.
The GCHQ method around that was to use MI6, MI5, the UK mil and go after interesting people with a very direct on site collection.
The better quality UK method would remain hidden from courts, media, lawyers, telcos, the OS, software developers, AV experts, police, govs, AV.
The NSA solution was the funding of a global collect it all effort on all networked systems.
The USA needed a way into all computer systems it would encounter on most existing global networks. The US set junk encryption standards, junk VPN efforts. US OS makers did not try to find out what the US gov/mil was doing deep in their products.
Results can be seen with the years of US thinking around ideas like Magic Lantern (software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....
PRISM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
NSA ANT catalog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Equation Group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Room 641A https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The USA went for the telco network, any consumer grade junk encryption, the OS, the software.
Lots of ways in, lots of ways to stay in, expected never to get detected. No comment or any ability of internal discovery in the past by the best private sector US brands.
That method left the US open to long term risk due to the need of its contractors to win a constant race with upgrades, new AV products, firewalls, experts trying to understand and secure their networks.
The USA also had to have no trail that would go back to the USA gov/mil, so US gov/mil staging servers and code litter had to show up as another language, ip range, time zone.
e.g. Marble https://www.theregister.co.uk/... "seem fluent in enemy tongues" (31 Mar 2017)
A lot of funding was flowing to any US contractors to win the malware race and keep collect it all working at the commercial, diplomatic and consumer level globally.
The UK effort was to never get caught and only focus on the more interesting people. Lawyers, human rights lawyers, the media, police, telco experts in the UK would be left to wonder about the role of informants. Interesting people in cults, faith groups, politics would then look internally for informants that never existed further exposing their methods, members to the UK security services.
Collect it all was the US approach that worked until it was detected. Too big, too many staging servers, too much junk code litter, code efforts in some nations, no code efforts in the wild in others.
The US had to respect the role of other 5 eye. Such an interesting malware void in the wild was detectable, over years and globally.
Internet collect it all should have stayed more hidden like the UK methods and had a much lower risk of any discovery.
The US selected to spread lots of new and very visible cyber collection methods globally.
Great work for over time, contractors, jobs, presenting results. Money was flowing. Results needed sorting. Staging servers nee
From international news, bad move reviews, authors, comments, reviews, images, blasphemy, cartoons, music, art, culture, history, politics, local news?
The censored internet is going to get very bland and boring. Just big government, political parties and big brands pushing their SJW ideals.
So a person wants to enter the USA? Why?
For an education? To stay for some time for some reason? To emigrate? As a refugee? To find work? Got a special talent?
All that can be considered if the person is from a normal nation with a working government, passports, educational system and police records.
Did they try to change their own government for "freedom" and "democracy" and fail? Now they demand the USA has support them?
Do they demand to bring in a vast numbers of other people once they get into the USA?
How much will every extra person that one person got in cost the USA to look after over the decades?
Is the person going to cost the USA a lot to support? Has health issues that will cost the US tax payer?
Do their infectious diseases need the US tax payer to cover the full costs of expensive medication for decades?
The problem is a lot of nations just have a lot of random, average "people". No working government, no police, no engineers, no passports, few doctors.
No skills, long term health issues. A way of life that demands changes to every aspect of the USA once the person gets to stay in the USA.
What can an AI do? The AI can sort the average long term costs to the US tax payers of random people trying to get into the USA.
Who does the person claim to know in the USA? What community and part of the USA do they want to enter?
Find out who is a few hops from that given name and community in the USA. Have they as a community added anything to the USA in the long and short term? What are the support costs to the US tax payer every year?
What group in the USA will be looking after that person short term? What is the average success rate of that person finding work in the private sector and becoming a productive US citizen?
Have the majority of the people in the same area and community found private sector work? Have many in that community stayed on US gov support for decades. Is generational poverty an issue?
Let the exceptional people in who have skills the USA needs.
If the USA really wants to "help" random people in failed nations, give some people a free quality US education with a 4 year visa.
At the end of that free quality education they return to help build up their own nation.

For all the code litter found by experts how much is the US rediscovering its own use of Honeycomb, Hive. From fake news to fake cyber code litter.
Why have sensitive mil and contractor data in plain text on random internet facing networks?
What is US counterintelligence doing?
Watch the contractor network and use lots of encryption. Compartmentalize projects and data. Just in time from just about any company is not secure.
The next question for the USA is the quality of its mil, gov and contractor human security.
Who is around your bases, ports offering mil/contractors pleasure, alcoholic beverages and cash for US secrets?
Start doing interviews and background reports on all mil officials and contractors.
Look for new wealth, holidays, police reports of loud parties, home improvements, a new car, unexpected shopping, gifts, changes in personality, boasting.
Look at the cell phone movements of at risk mil/contractors. Who are they meeting, talking to? What new cell phones do their cell phones stay next to for some time?
Two agents (one to be a witness for the other) would drive around the USA and interview in person everyone connected to the interesting person.
The interviews would take as long as needed and very repetitive. Lots of rephrased questions about politics, books, reading... politics..
All past education, mil, friends, past neighbors, places of work. Then a look at books, other reading material, music, art, all contacts with people outside the USA.
Local court, state, medical and federal court paper files and records would be requested. Any electronic US databases searched.
Slowly a picture would be created. The buddy system would ensure the work was done to a good standard.
AC consider the mil can get in. GCHQ, NSA can get in via the next gen DROPOUT JEEP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
US law enforcement has its "Americans’ Cellphones Targeted in Secret U.S. Spy Program" (Nov. 13, 2014) https://www.wsj.com/articles/a...
So that covers tracking and the removal of privacy.
The only question left for US law enforcement at a federal, state, city level is what to tell the public about its budgets for collect it all systems.
Keep it out of court and no lawyer, human rights group will never really know who/how/why/when.
Interesting people will buy into and totally trust the next generation of US big brand phone thinking network/physical police access is always one gen behind.
PRISM showed what US brands really do before a product is released. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The public talking points will always try to suggest the just released most advanced cell phone is 100% encrypted but the contractors/mil/security services can collect it all.
How to hide the role of the security services but still allow logs, live mic voice, location, files to be used in court?
The UK considered that issue when the security services had the ability to decode junk consumer grade computer encryption for police.
No lawyer or member of the media, court worker, police was ever going to see the direct role of the security services in real time decryption, global cell phone tracking.
Such information for the UK courts was hidden behind "police" sounding support under names like National Criminal Intelligence Service, Government Telecommunications Advisory Centre, Govemmemt Technical Assistance Centre, National Technical Assistance Centre.
Experts from the security services could then enter the court system under the cover of a police support role.
Lawyers, member of the media, court worker, police, cults, criminals, faith groups could never really work out if the UK police had a few average informants, a super grass https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Could a UK registered cell phone been used as a live mic globally on a UK police budget?
The UK always tried to keep its collection well hidden and secure within the GCHQ, 5 eyes, Royal Ulster Constabulary Special Branch and UK mil (mil to cover global collection, special forces to act on results).
The USA is stuck with its lawyers, cults, faith groups, media, human rights groups, ex and former police, telco and court workers all knowing too much about police collection just from courts, police budgets. States, cities with their versions of FOIA to see paperwork on police budgets.
The more the US courts talk about cell phone collection (network and physical), the more interesting people reconsider trusting their big brand updated cell phones.
Some US police budgets depend on short term good news stories, so collection methods become part of court work.
Police need to collect it all but still show push the talking point that the US brand of cell phone to "too advanced" to understand. That a new fully encrypted US big brand cell phone is still a very wise investment for any criminal, cult, faith group. A US cell phone can exist in both as secure and decrypted depending on the police talking points.
To totally trust that cell phone is the nation wide talking point needed. Until some low cost DROPOUT JEEP got used by a city, state.
The problem with trying to fix what the security services are doing is the security services have lost control of their tool sets over the years.
The US and UK have a set of tools. What was once CIA, NSA, GCHQ, Royal Ulster Constabulary Special Branch only is now floating around other nations and staff.
Hardware and software to rent, for a shared faith, domestic politics, to buy.
The US and UK shared methods with trusted experts in NATO. To impress new friends in NATO, EU bureaucracy? To get staff in the EU to trust and support the NSA, CIA, GCHQ over the decades?
Ex and former staff in NATO studied the tools and shared the with in their own nations. Other police and federal police groups within NATO get a copy from their own governments...
Soon once restricted US/UK software is floating around with ex staff, former staff, criminals, cults, faith groups, the media, lawyers, political parties in many nations.
With real security experts in gov and the private sectors now aware of what is been hidden via fake US AV software, experts can secure their systems from spies, other mil, gov, ex and former staff.
Great security protects good governments and the productive innovation of the private sector from other governments, lazy competitors.
Who wants junk crypto to stay around for years been accessed by anyone with cash and gov/mil connections... or a shared faith?
Allow the private sector and gov's the information to fix networks, software, OS and firewalls.
The NSA and CIA, GCHQ, 5 eyes have to move data around the globe after collection.
What better way out of a network than a firewall set to trust an AV product?
Its just the AV updating...
If anyone looks, its all the work of other "nations". The interesting part is how dependant and fixated the West is on the talking points and the need to use trusted products to hide their collect it all data flow.
A move to the low cost gpu away from many selling more cpu's?
The tradition solution to most computer graphics problems was to pay for more a lot more Intel CPU's.
Re "Not only because it's an obvious shill for their particular technology, but it is often poorly thought out and in some instances politically charged."
It has to be the lack of computers, teachers, books, calculators, robot kits, ebooks, laptops, desktop computers, new funding, nutrition.
Add more computers, quality teachers and a find funds to design new buildings.
Just keep on over funding the parts of the nation that cant educate their students and in a few decades the students test as well as the national average.
Decades of funding, public private partnerships, support, new computers, teachers, new buildings... any decade now that spending just has to result in better grades on average.
Just keep on adding more funding for education and it will all be good soon...
Change the way teachers get educated. Curriculum changes... More books for the library? Ebooks? New laptops with ebooks on them? Replace the new laptops with new tablet computers...add more new ebooks with a new generation of US authors.
That has to show up in the next generation as better average test results?
Add more funds... that will bring the poor government schools up to some mythical wealthy private school standards?
Another new building and more a lot more new networked computers? Lack of fast internet, that had to be the issue... More new robot kits and colourful gui control software for the robot kit? Computer art? Computer music... Bring the private sector into the classroom.. new art and music funding will improve average test results...
It just has to be the learning environment...
Did anyone stop to consider on why past generations got the best students to top US universities with average teachers, pen, paper, calculators and math text books?
Testing and sorting found and supported the best students. The best students got supported and found their way into a top US university. They went on to advance the USA.
Now funding is spread over average students for decades and the very average results stay the same.
AC a file on a USB device on a computer should not be able to take over a computer or wider network.

Someone grants access to their computer and usb to "help" the expert.. or the now trusted person the boss knows...

What the US mil could secure for millions has been given to contractors to look after for billions. That money is gone. The once very secret and secure US mil data is.... ????
The contractors just took the funding and spent it on parties, gifts, holidays and home renovations?
So builders of UAV, USV, UGS, UMS grants just did nothing for the past years?
No more thinking about the Unmanned Systems Integrated Roadmap?

Give great speeches that people in different parts of the USA want to listen to.
Ensure that every state is included in visits by a charming politician who can give a long speech.
Find a candidate who can keep talking for a long time.
"Fake news" and "social media" cannot actually make a politician not show up in person all over the different parts of the USA and give a good speech.
People all over the USA remember who they went to see in person and their ability to give a great speech.
Dont lecture people in different states from the elite coast. All the other states can sway that US election so be more aware of local issues all around the USA.
Dont speak of people all over the USA in a negative way. You need their vote and voters do remember all the negative words used to describe their nice parts of the USA.
Try been positive about each part of the USA and just listen to their needs.
Dont stay on the elite east and west coast giving short lectures to the rest of the USA.
Talk about jobs, freedom and wealth. Real people want real ideas about good jobs, education, housing, not more negative lectures on elite issues.
A really great candidate can get out the vote all over the USA. Staying on elite coast talking points did not win an election.
Election observers from different political parties ensured no federal level "hacking" could happen.
Each city, state, town voted for a person they wanted elected.
The vote got counted and the results showed who the US states wanted elected.
Other nations did not bus out millions of their embassy staff to vote in person all over the USA. The FBI would have noticed a few extra million embassy staff in the USA at that time.
Other nations did not vote in the millions all over the USA. Other nations did not "hack" the computer vote as US elections do not get all counted digitally by one national computer.
The votes get counted and the count is observed locally all over the USA.
Real people all over different parts of the USA selected the person they wanted.
If a political party wants their vote, fly out to their state and talk to lots of people in person.

The GCHQ and NSA had crypto all worked out until the first networked home/desktop computers of the early 1980's. Real time decryption of junk standard global cryptic systems.
All commercial, NATO/mil/gov, many nations diplomatic, banking encryption that was sold as a standard in the West was totally understood by the NSA and GCHQ from the 1950-80's
The 1980's desktop computers gave the user the ability to create and use their own working, low cost, free encryption. Encryption that was not weak, junk, gov/mil plain text ready.
The GCHQ method around that was to use MI6, MI5, the UK mil and go after interesting people with a very direct on site collection.
The better quality UK method would remain hidden from courts, media, lawyers, telcos, the OS, software developers, AV experts, police, govs, AV
The NSA solution was the funding of a global collect it all effort on all networked systems.
The USA needed a way into all computer systems it would encounter on most existing global networks. The US set junk encryption standards, junk VPN efforts. US OS makers did not try to find out what the US gov/mil was doing deep in their products.
Results can be seen with the years of US thinking around ideas like Magic Lantern (software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....
PRISM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
NSA ANT catalog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Equation Group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Room 641A https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The USA went for the telco network, any consumer grade junk encryption, the OS, the software.
Lots of ways in, lots of ways to stay in, expected never to get detected. No comment or any ability of internal discovery in the past by the best private sector US brands.
That method left the US open to long term risk due to the need of its contractors to win a constant race with upgrades, new AV products, firewalls, experts trying to understand and secure their networks.
The USA also had to have no trail that would go back to the USA gov/mil, so US gov/mil staging servers and code litter had to show up as another language, ip range, time zone.
e.g. Marble https://www.theregister.co.uk/... "seem fluent in enemy tongues" (31 Mar 2017)
A lot of funding was flowing to any US contractors to win the malware race and keep collect it all working at the commercial, diplomatic and consumer level globally.
The UK effort was to never get caught and only focus on the more interesting people. Lawyers, human rights lawyers, the media, police, telco experts in the UK would be left to wonder about the role of informants. Interesting people in cults, faith groups, politics would then look internally for informants that never existed further exposing their methods, members to the UK security services.
Collect it all was the US approach that worked until it was detected. Too big, too many staging servers, too much junk code litter, code efforts in some nations, no code efforts in the wild in others.
The US had to respect the role of other 5 eye. Such an interesting malware void in the wild was detectable, over years and globally.
Internet collect it all should have stayed more hidden like the UK methods and had a much lower risk of any discovery.
The US selected to spread lots of new and very visible cyber collection methods globally.
Great work for over time, contractors, jobs, presenting results. Money was flowing. Results needed sorting. Staging servers nee

The censored internet is going to get very bland and boring. Just big government, political parties and big brands pushing their SJW ideals.
So a person wants to enter the USA? Why?
For an education? To stay for some time for some reason? To emigrate? As a refugee? To find work? Got a special talent?
All that can be considered if the person is from a normal nation with a working government, passports, educational system and police records.
Did they try to change their own government for "freedom" and "democracy" and fail? Now they demand the USA has support them?
Do they demand to bring in a vast numbers of other people once they get into the USA?
How much will every extra person that one person got in cost the USA to look after over the decades?
Is the person going to cost the USA a lot to support? Has health issues that will cost the US tax payer?
Do their infectious diseases need the US tax payer to cover the full costs of expensive medication for decades?
The problem is a lot of nations just have a lot of random, average "people". No working government, no police, no engineers, no passports, few doctors.
No skills, long term health issues. A way of life that demands changes to every aspect of the USA once the person gets to stay in the USA.
What can an AI do?
The AI can sort the average long term costs to the US tax payers of random people trying to get into the USA.
Who does the person claim to know in the USA? What community and part of the USA do they want to enter?
Find out who is a few hops from that given name and community in the USA. Have they as a community added anything to the USA in the long and short term?
What are the support costs to the US tax payer every year?
What group in the USA will be looking after that person short term? What is the average success rate of that person finding work in the private sector and becoming a productive US citizen?
Have the majority of the people in the same area and community found private sector work? Have many in that community stayed on US gov support for decades. Is generational poverty an issue?
Let the exceptional people in who have skills the USA needs.
If the USA really wants to "help" random people in failed nations, give some people a free quality US education with a 4 year visa.
At the end of that free quality education they return to help build up their own nation.

Why have sensitive mil and contractor data in plain text on random internet facing networks?
What is US counterintelligence doing?
Watch the contractor network and use lots of encryption. Compartmentalize projects and data. Just in time from just about any company is not secure.
The next question for the USA is the quality of its mil, gov and contractor human security.
Who is around your bases, ports offering mil/contractors pleasure, alcoholic beverages and cash for US secrets?
Start doing interviews and background reports on all mil officials and contractors.
Look for new wealth, holidays, police reports of loud parties, home improvements, a new car, unexpected shopping, gifts, changes in personality, boasting.
Look at the cell phone movements of at risk mil/contractors. Who are they meeting, talking to? What new cell phones do their cell phones stay next to for some time?
Two agents (one to be a witness for the other) would drive around the USA and interview in person everyone connected to the interesting person.
The interviews would take as long as needed and very repetitive. Lots of rephrased questions about politics, books, reading... politics..
All past education, mil, friends, past neighbors, places of work. Then a look at books, other reading material, music, art, all contacts with people outside the USA.
Local court, state, medical and federal court paper files and records would be requested. Any electronic US databases searched.
Slowly a picture would be created. The buddy system would ensure the work was done to a good standard.
AC consider the mil can get in. GCHQ, NSA can get in via the next gen DROPOUT JEEP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
US law enforcement has its "Americans’ Cellphones Targeted in Secret U.S. Spy Program" (Nov. 13, 2014)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/a...
So that covers tracking and the removal of privacy.
The only question left for US law enforcement at a federal, state, city level is what to tell the public about its budgets for collect it all systems.
Keep it out of court and no lawyer, human rights group will never really know who/how/why/when.
Interesting people will buy into and totally trust the next generation of US big brand phone thinking network/physical police access is always one gen behind.
PRISM showed what US brands really do before a product is released. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The public talking points will always try to suggest the just released most advanced cell phone is 100% encrypted but the contractors/mil/security services can collect it all.
How to hide the role of the security services but still allow logs, live mic voice, location, files to be used in court?
The UK considered that issue when the security services had the ability to decode junk consumer grade computer encryption for police.
No lawyer or member of the media, court worker, police was ever going to see the direct role of the security services in real time decryption, global cell phone tracking.
Such information for the UK courts was hidden behind "police" sounding support under names like National Criminal Intelligence Service, Government Telecommunications Advisory Centre, Govemmemt Technical Assistance Centre, National Technical Assistance Centre.
Experts from the security services could then enter the court system under the cover of a police support role.
Lawyers, member of the media, court worker, police, cults, criminals, faith groups could never really work out if the UK police had a few average informants, a super grass https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Could a UK registered cell phone been used as a live mic globally on a UK police budget?
The UK always tried to keep its collection well hidden and secure within the GCHQ, 5 eyes, Royal Ulster Constabulary Special Branch and UK mil (mil to cover global collection, special forces to act on results).
The USA is stuck with its lawyers, cults, faith groups, media, human rights groups, ex and former police, telco and court workers all knowing too much about police collection just from courts, police budgets. States, cities with their versions of FOIA to see paperwork on police budgets.
The more the US courts talk about cell phone collection (network and physical), the more interesting people reconsider trusting their big brand updated cell phones.
Some US police budgets depend on short term good news stories, so collection methods become part of court work.
Police need to collect it all but still show push the talking point that the US brand of cell phone to "too advanced" to understand.
That a new fully encrypted US big brand cell phone is still a very wise investment for any criminal, cult, faith group. A US cell phone can exist in both as secure and decrypted depending on the police talking points.
To totally trust that cell phone is the nation wide talking point needed. Until some low cost DROPOUT JEEP got used by a city, state.
should have always been burdensome...
The problem with trying to fix what the security services are doing is the security services have lost control of their tool sets over the years.
The US and UK have a set of tools. What was once CIA, NSA, GCHQ, Royal Ulster Constabulary Special Branch only is now floating around other nations and staff.
Hardware and software to rent, for a shared faith, domestic politics, to buy.
The US and UK shared methods with trusted experts in NATO. To impress new friends in NATO, EU bureaucracy? To get staff in the EU to trust and support the NSA, CIA, GCHQ over the decades?
Ex and former staff in NATO studied the tools and shared the with in their own nations. Other police and federal police groups within NATO get a copy from their own governments...
Soon once restricted US/UK software is floating around with ex staff, former staff, criminals, cults, faith groups, the media, lawyers, political parties in many nations.

SISMI-Telecom scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
With real security experts in gov and the private sectors now aware of what is been hidden via fake US AV software, experts can secure their systems from spies, other mil, gov, ex and former staff.
Great security protects good governments and the productive innovation of the private sector from other governments, lazy competitors.
Who wants junk crypto to stay around for years been accessed by anyone with cash and gov/mil connections... or a shared faith?
Allow the private sector and gov's the information to fix networks, software, OS and firewalls.
The NSA and CIA, GCHQ, 5 eyes have to move data around the globe after collection.
What better way out of a network than a firewall set to trust an AV product?
Its just the AV updating...
If anyone looks, its all the work of other "nations". The interesting part is how dependant and fixated the West is on the talking points and the need to use trusted products to hide their collect it all data flow.

... Bring the private sector into the classroom .. new art and music funding will improve average test results...
It has to be the lack of computers, teachers, books, calculators, robot kits, ebooks, laptops, desktop computers, new funding, nutrition.
Add more computers, quality teachers and a find funds to design new buildings.
Just keep on over funding the parts of the nation that cant educate their students and in a few decades the students test as well as the national average.
Decades of funding, public private partnerships, support, new computers, teachers, new buildings... any decade now that spending just has to result in better grades on average.
Just keep on adding more funding for education and it will all be good soon...
Change the way teachers get educated. Curriculum changes... More books for the library? Ebooks? New laptops with ebooks on them? Replace the new laptops with new tablet computers...add more new ebooks with a new generation of US authors.
That has to show up in the next generation as better average test results?
Add more funds... that will bring the poor government schools up to some mythical wealthy private school standards?
Another new building and more a lot more new networked computers? Lack of fast internet, that had to be the issue... More new robot kits and colourful gui control software for the robot kit? Computer art? Computer music
It just has to be the learning environment...
Did anyone stop to consider on why past generations got the best students to top US universities with average teachers, pen, paper, calculators and math text books?
Testing and sorting found and supported the best students. The best students got supported and found their way into a top US university. They went on to advance the USA.
Now funding is spread over average students for decades and the very average results stay the same.
