Depending on how much data person shared on social media over the years?
Private companies have done a lot of data enhancement on anything they could get on past and existing social media users.
The ip used to submit more details can give hours, days or longer to search bulk anonymized information. Using the ip, its not so "anonymized" anymore and can go back for some time if the submission ip is the home ip that changes over months.
That gives an insight into what the person might have been doing online, even uncover search terms.
Profiles, faces, friend of friends? Do they have criminal records? Are they online friends criminals? Anything in paperwork at the city court system?
Who did a person party with at college? What political causes did they support? Will they bring their SJW issues with them into the work place? Any suggestion of been into union politics? Are they an undercover journalist? State or federal enforcement? A criminal? Is most of their past fake or just embellished?
The final question is the history of the workers access to computers and the internet. Did they grow up in a poor part of the USA and not have any access to a new computer every year? Did they have fast internet at home? Did they get a scholarship or work for their access to higher education? Not having access to normal computing over a decade due to poverty is interesting. Did they mention that aspect of their life? Other better applications had years of access to the very best technology...
Every aspect of a persons life can be discovered and considered. Social media just makes finding friends of friends and political issues much more easy before a person makes it into a new job.
The US legal system is working. Congress gave a lot of power to search and question anyone with or without paperwork entering the USA.
Most readers know the original of the NSA and CIA and who they report to and what data they like to collect in the EU.
The problem for the EU is they did a lot of passport and privacy deals with the USA over the years.
That was when nations in the EU still had some control over who got EU nation passports.
With the illegal immigration into the EU area, the offer of citizenship to anyone with no papers and some "story", EU are passports are now not useful to the USA as documents.
Dual citizens, no standards results in the US having to examine every EU passport as if it is work of fiction. Who is the person really, what are their origins and real intentions once in the USA. Bureaucrats in EU area nations might be happy to issue such passports, the US can still ask for more information.
So the US attempts to ask the EU a bit more about each person wanting to enter the USA from EU nations.
What can EU nations say? That same person got a free EU area passport a few years ago with a name and other details the person submitted on the day of application?
The EU nations have no way of knowing who the person is but the US has to trust the fictional EU nations travel documents due to privacy laws?
"Churchill’s scientific papers reveal an even greater politician than we thought" (17 February 2017 https://www.theguardian.com/co...
"Churchill will also have benefited from his reading of Olaf Stapledon’s science-fiction masterpiece, Last and First Men, which was published in 1930."
Tube Alloys has most of the history of the UK's nuclear efforts, thanks to early political and science leadership. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
By the time the UK worked out the US would not be sharing back, it was too late. Th UK had given the US most of what it had.
After WW2 the UK had to work on its own projects.
The Winston Churchill connection to H G Wells was well known.
The why of Frederick Lindermann who was liked over a lot of other staff and the design of the British nuclear project.
Lindermann sent Churchill a book on nuclear physics in 1926 and gave a talk that ensured Churchill was ready for nuclear issues.
H G Wells was just one of the people Churchill kept in contact given the interest in The World Set Free https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....
So Churchill had been reading and meeting a lot of interesting people over many decades. Given the early contact with Wells and the topics in his books, Churchill was much more ready for nuclear e.g. the work of Frederick Soddy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and space topics.
That later interest in science, nuclear weapons was what saved the UK's nuclear weapons design work from the USA.
The "other planets" question would have been talked about a lot given the interest in H G Wells.
What can political leaders learn from this? Read a lot, be interesting and talk a lot to the best minds of your generation.
Find the scientist who can speak about emerging topics and who can hold a conversation. The best scientists to work on any project are easy to find later on.
Never trust another nation with your own science, they will not share or give back.
That allowed the UK to be ready for a nuclear future.
"New FOIA Documents Confirm FBI Used Dirtboxes on Planes Without Any Policies or Legal Guidance" https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/...
"New Senate Bill Would Require Warrants for Federal Aerial Surveillance" https://theintercept.com/2015/...
Lots of data is been sorted:)
".. fake cell phone tower devices that can pull a suspect’s cell phone data and thereby determine... location within 10 feet."
Different areas of the USA had different funding over the decades and ideas about what to do about rural isolation.
e.g. one existing toll bridge vs building more free bridges.
Louisiana politician Huey Long https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
"... built 111 bridges and started construction on the first bridge over the Mississippi entirely in Louisiana..."
The problem for the USA is later funding needed to look after what was built over the years.
When was it broken and who is breaking it in the wild?
Security services? Federal law enforcement with lots of funding? Government workers? Private sector? Groups of very smart people?
People with skills and a few powerful computers? People reusing code created by people with skills and one home computer?
Any news on ip ranges and time zones?
Upper management just knows never to let profit be wasted on yet more hardware and software?
What about the generation shareholders? Executive bonuses are enjoyed every year. Why is that profit going on security hardware and software?
Are US legal teams haunted by some open court event in the 1980's or 1990's?
Logs finally showed an issue, law enforcement got contacted is all the compliance that needs to be public.
Showing a team understood an issue but could not prevent it or failed to report an issue in time while their security attempted to work the issue?
Incompetence might be legally better and could be cleaned up with good PR. The ability not to have any extra paper work and really not to know anything could be legally useful later? A politician asking questions could be halted with a comment about working with law enforcement rather than producing vast amounts of internal paperwork to show how company failed.
Been a brand in open court or before some gov committee reporting on people, crimes, naming other brands staff, products, services, what was done before law enforcement was contacted in great detail might not be very useful marketing.
Think back to the 1950-80's. Everyone expected the huge protected domestic production lines in the US and UK to just keep producing cars.
The brands pushed national pride, the prices had to be accepted by the buying public, new designs always set the latest trends and fashions.
Then Japan exported. Exports got reviewed by local media. Lower prices, a much better understanding of the quality control needed to work in cold climates.
The buying public enjoyed the change. For the same price they could get quality. Drive to work, rather than spend time getting a car working.
Smart phones design teams just expect brand loyalty due to past innovation.
Why give some design team so much pure profit for every upgrade over decades?
Apps still work on most hardware thanks to a layer that can support most hardware.
The visual appearance of the hardware is not an issue. The characteristics of using a phone, getting and sending data is the same given cellular infrastructure.
Camera lens design allows for better images and video. That lens option is been provided by hardware on the open market.
Patriotism and national security feels like a new import tariff.
"New Mac malware pinned on same Russian group blamed for election hacks" https://arstechnica.com/securi...
"spoke Russian" and the classic "worked mostly during Russian business hours" and finally
"pursued targets located in Ukraine, Spain, Russia, Romania, the US, and Canada"
Language, working hours over a few time zones and a list of nations?
Whats in "Russian cyberspies blamed for U.S. election hacks are now targeting Macs" http://www.computerworld.com/a...
"has been operating for almost a decade." So the private security sector globally knows something about the methods... yet bulk data can still be moved undetected in the wild using the tools understood by private sector experts...
"Security researchers believe that the group is likely tied to the Russian Military Intelligence Service."
Most nations security services would not trust results from tools that have been discovered and are been talked about or tracked by other nations govs and private sector security experts.
Such methods get discovered while in use, the data flow out can be tampered with. Staying in any network with old tools just invites surveillance.
Very few nations with any skills would use old tools that can be detected while in use.
What groups?
Some federal database might buy a state database and find lots of illegal migrants getting free city or state services?
That a person is a religious covert? Does their faith or cult have issues? A person buying products or searching for topics that get reported and tracked?
A person looking to travel? Most of the US online tracking is looking for any trace of radicalization and mobilization. Is a person of interest looking up interesting things?
Get some US gov/mil work? Need a polygraph? Expect to be tracked online for a while before the polygraph to see if you are doing any online or book reading to evade the polygraph test.
If your searching for words that the US gov has an interest in tracking expect to be tracked. Brands sell their user data in bulk to anyone. Governments can buy sorted data from the private sector on any topic.
If its imported as a product what code is going to be done? Branding over some device ready GUI?
Thats more an art skill for a web app?
Making your own IoT device in the USA? Whats trendy in 2017 for low level design work?
A US design team with the needed skills will work on that.
If the kit is sold, most of the work has been done.
If your making your own kit, you have the skills or paying a very smart person with the skills.
Re "How messed up as a society to you have to become to think that way?"
It goes back to the Time and motion study https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Later ideas about "Motivating Employees" http://guides.wsj.com/manageme...
Computer monitoring system grew from early email and internet use around the USA.
e.g. daily reports of every keystroke per computer, clickstream data https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The why is often given as "trade secrets", i.e. the idea that monitoring everyone stops a walk out?
Other ideas surround legal issues. The lack of monitoring allowed bad thing to go on and not be stopped.
If training is expensive, tracking all workers can show if extra help is needed.
Background checks often fail or are done at a low cost...
The Fourth Amendment, Electronic Communications Privacy Act, State laws might offer some protection from an invasion of privacy. i.e. company computer, company network, no reasonable expectation of privacy for clickstream data.
Most of that was tested in courts the 1990's.
The tracking of workers would show a return to the Time and motion study decades.
AC most of that is just from Employee monitoring:)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... e.g. clickstream data, the ability to monitor, audit, inspect provided Internet.
The Fourth Amendment, Electronic Communications Privacy Act, state statutes have all be used to protect from such efforts.
The ability to guide and shape workers is often commented on too:)
"Motivating Employees" http://guides.wsj.com/manageme...
Every digital file can be opened. Encryption use can be questioned.
The facts surrounding any file can be asked about. e.g. a recovered photo.
i.e. you can be asked about a photo, have any device searched for a photo when questioned at the time.
Any nations education visa is not some instant citizenship win or a full time work permit once full or part time or further education is over.
The graduate can return to their own country, apply for a job in the USA given the skills they now have, then get the correct work related paperwork to work full time in the USA.
If any nation only offers a restricted education visa and will not offer any later employment visa, thats the normal risk anyone education shopping takes.
Full employment for decades in some other nation after a few years study should not be expected, hinted at or offered.
Thats fine in the USA but entering the USA is legally different.
AC that laptop can be turned on, data copied and the device returned.
Think of a digital camera. It can be turned on, all images looked at to see if a persons travel history is the same as what they said it was when asked.
The camera card can be examined for images that got deleted or any use of encryption. The encryption might hold, the use of most encryption is detectable given the US federal budget.
The images can be recovered and more questions asked.
If everyone demanded "rights" as they entered the US then nothing could be searched and no questions asked. The normal inspections would slow up with the need for court orders for every bag inspection..
US citizens could just wonder in with anything they wanted in their bags...
Think of a new Value Added Tax on every sale to unemployed, underemployed, and unemployable as they swipe their UBI card.
Food, clothing, transport, medicine, utility bills, buy any new used appliance. As later versions of a UBI get paid digitally, most of the poor and unskilled can really only spend funds locally and the digital sale would ensure any tax is collected.
If they ever get a part time job, find any other hours of work, create an app, more tax is collected.
If a US university cant produce the workers needed, no students would bother to attend any US university for any advanced degree..
So its not a skills issue. The US education system is still offering the education people can use.
No rush to other advanced nations for a better, more useful education.
So US workers out of the better US university settings or in the work force are still smart enough globally.
Can a brand tell the entire USA about a job on offer? Thanks to the internet that distance or very local job market issue is not the problem it once was.
Are the jobs on offer needing set state or federal security clearances, permits or exams? If any very average, random person outside the US can still get that job then its not a problem for any qualified US worker.
The only reason to not hire good US workers is to keep wages down by using low cost workers from outside the USA long term due to bureaucracy that still thinks in terms of local newspaper ads not been able to find skilled workers from all over the USA.
If you need an expert from some other really advanced nation, pay them a full US wage. Remove the wage incentives to hire workers from outside the USA. Tell the educators in the US about the pool of expert workers that the US needed per year. What skill, what ability that not one other person in the US had. Whats on that list that no US university could offer or no US worker could find any further education in?
That no community in the USA could teach or had?
When that list is made, fund some US university or other educators to close that huge education gap in a few years.
Think back to the vast public and private education efforts from the 1920's-1990's that saw the US out pace every other nation.
Then export the products and services globally. Low skilled workers from other nations that lower wages in the US is not really doing much for the USA.
Wages are lowered, US workers don't get jobs and multinationals move the profits out of the USA.
The only winner is the law firm that got past the US bureaucracy to get the low cost worker into the USA.
A single person attracted by cash is a contractor or mercenary. In the same way people work for the US gov as a contractor. Its all about the cash until they have enough cash to retire or can create their own company.
Never allow your bands cash flow to be another persons life style enabler.
Don't hire single people. They have too much freedom to save and the smarts to think about the next job or their own project or brand.
Not just day dream like average workers, they can save and create their own job. Stop funding that ability.
When looking for staff, consider the people around the selected worker and what they need.
Would a selection of nice, local company homes in a good part of the city help? That really, really good private health insurance that covers everything, all the time with none of the expected questions? Private education? Holidays options that only a company with international connections can make happen?
Further education?
Project within projects to keep that one needed worker intellectually engaged. Have other staff create a project just for them. Avoid that sheltered workshop, busy work, side ways promotion feel, make the worker really think they are really working hard to something vital.
Drop in the reward, something really earned. Keep it random so the worker feels like they earned it and are moving up.
So the worker can tell people they really accomplished something none of their colleagues could or did.
Do such things cost a company a lot? Make the loss of that free lifestyle, support and needed health care be very difficult to rationalize to the people around the worker.
Cash is just too tempting to move on with given staff skill sets. Get that loyalty feeling up.
Another option is to show what trying to start a new job will be like.
Say a worker walks out.
Show what the outside world is now like, trying to start their own brand, how fast savings get lost on a dream. Still trying to find another company to work for or with...
Buy two of the same books. Learn how to use a one time pad.
Take a holiday or sabbatical and give one book to the person you want to communicate with.
Teach that person about the use of a one time pad on paper. Don't encode or decode the message on the computer.
Take up landscape photography. Any digital camera will do.
Include a small banner ad like landscape image with every email.
Learn steganography and hide a short one time pad like message in every small landscape image in every normal email.
Set some constrained writing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... in the text of the message to show that a real message is in the image.
One time pad use should keep the message safe, if not reused or decoded or created on a computer.
Sending an image with every email sets up a pattern that is not new later when really needed.
The constant use of a one time pad message over the years build up a pattern, but if none are real, years of everyday tasks will get tracked by some gov or contractor.
Anonymity would need a numbers station. Years of been watch for no result might induce cost savings that would see more interesting people tracked.
The ability to trust any computer crypto from an OS, as software is low given the help US brands offer with decryption to 5 eye nations and other nations.

If you need an expert from some other really advanced nation, pay them a full US wage. Remove the wage incentives to hire workers from outside the USA.
Tell the educators in the US about the pool of expert workers that the US needed per year. What skill, what ability that not one other person in the US had. Whats on that list that no US university could offer or no US worker could find any further education in?
That no community in the USA could teach or had?
When that list is made, fund some US university or other educators to close that huge education gap in a few years.
Think back to the vast public and private education efforts from the 1920's-1990's that saw the US out pace every other nation.
Then export the products and services globally. Low skilled workers from other nations that lower wages in the US is not really doing much for the USA.
Wages are lowered, US workers don't get jobs and multinationals move the profits out of the USA.
The only winner is the law firm that got past the US bureaucracy to get the low cost worker into the USA.
A single person attracted by cash is a contractor or mercenary. In the same way people work for the US gov as a contractor. Its all about the cash until they have enough cash to retire or can create their own company.
Never allow your bands cash flow to be another persons life style enabler.
Don't hire single people. They have too much freedom to save and the smarts to think about the next job or their own project or brand.
Not just day dream like average workers, they can save and create their own job. Stop funding that ability.
When looking for staff, consider the people around the selected worker and what they need.
Would a selection of nice, local company homes in a good part of the city help? That really, really good private health insurance that covers everything, all the time with none of the expected questions? Private education? Holidays options that only a company with international connections can make happen?
Further education?
Project within projects to keep that one needed worker intellectually engaged. Have other staff create a project just for them. Avoid that sheltered workshop, busy work, side ways promotion feel, make the worker really think they are really working hard to something vital.
Drop in the reward, something really earned. Keep it random so the worker feels like they earned it and are moving up.
So the worker can tell people they really accomplished something none of their colleagues could or did.
Do such things cost a company a lot? Make the loss of that free lifestyle, support and needed health care be very difficult to rationalize to the people around the worker.
Cash is just too tempting to move on with given staff skill sets. Get that loyalty feeling up.
Another option is to show what trying to start a new job will be like.
Say a worker walks out.
Show what the outside world is now like, trying to start their own brand, how fast savings get lost on a dream. Still trying to find another company to work for or with...
Buy two of the same books. Learn how to use a one time pad.
Take a holiday or sabbatical and give one book to the person you want to communicate with.
Teach that person about the use of a one time pad on paper. Don't encode or decode the message on the computer.
Take up landscape photography. Any digital camera will do.
Include a small banner ad like landscape image with every email.
Learn steganography and hide a short one time pad like message in every small landscape image in every normal email.
Set some constrained writing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... in the text of the message to show that a real message is in the image.
One time pad use should keep the message safe, if not reused or decoded or created on a computer.
Sending an image with every email sets up a pattern that is not new later when really needed.
The constant use of a one time pad message over the years build up a pattern, but if none are real, years of everyday tasks will get tracked by some gov or contractor.
Anonymity would need a numbers station. Years of been watch for no result might induce cost savings that would see more interesting people tracked.
