But think of all the car workers, the supply chain workers and the awesomer feeling of having your own Trans-Am.
Thats the trade most parts of the world made -car jobs vs quality of life.
Now comes the cash flow to rebuild the cities with bus lanes, trams, light rail, underpasses... at wonderful private sector rates from tax payers.
As for the camera push, expect real time registration plate OCR with a nice data stream building up a massive profile of everyday traffic.
The US is exploring a few different public/private/DHS cyber bills up to become law.
They seem to know that "not the bill being talked about in this article" works very well in getting the media to quote aspects of "one of 30" while another drifts past.
You have had efforts like: "Promoting and Enhancing Cybersecurity and Information Sharing Effectiveness Act (PRECISE Act, H.R. 3674) by Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Calif.
Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011 (H.R. 3523) by Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich
The Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2011 (H.R. 2096) by Rep. Michael McCaul's, R-Texas
PRECISE will create the NISO (National Information-Sharing Organization) - 15-member board with five members drawn from DHS/10 from the private sector to watch over and "share" your private IT.
You do get liability protection for sharing information with the DHS too.
So don't worry about that wrong IP/log/account:)
If we suck up to enough US tech (gov, ex gov now running "security") we might get special export consideration for airforce related source code one day.
We also get reduced rates (thanks US taxpayers) on some generational military contracts for been such good friends over so many wars.
Canada joined the UK–USA Security Agreement for signals intelligence (SIGINT) collection - Echelon.
As Canada upgraded its telco infrastructure and new players entered the market, trunk communications would have been open to cleared groups by default.
Make a fuss and your not a telco anymore, with huge contracts going to people who where more helpful.
So every email, fax, packet, bank report, telegram, voice call, text would have been tracked as a sender, end point, number and words of interest, voice print.
The problem was not the collecting or sorting, more the press, courts and books exposing the scale of the networks.
The tech is now cheaper, other police groups with small budgets and a need for any press can do the same with hardware and software getting very fast and easy to install.
So this has always been detected, just in the past, it was felt that a person should be "noticed" in other ways in public courts.
Tax problems, legal issues, car issues, work tensions, passport issues - anything that would result in a paper trail of suburban normality.
With every story like this they are setting back the best signals intelligence system they have for so little PR.
Yes you need to spin up a subpoena, court order, or other legal document right....
Then wait for the details to come back. Spin up the telco with a court order ect. and get the real world details form some cleared admin and the telcos's legal team.....
I am guessing very little paperwork and very automated - point and click like for a person with many hats results in very rapid real world details.
Australia hinted at such a system for cleared staff - no real day to day court paperwork needed. http://www.zdnet.com.au/inside-australia-s-data-retention-proposal-339303862.htm
"..."wanted to automate the process of requesting and obtaining access to telecommunications data."
Install trackmenot http://cs.nyu.edu/trackmenot/ for your browser and search engines will be pushing out a lot of random search noise all day and night.
Randomized search-queries will flood your logs and make your user profile fun:)
A genuine bad person would have direct or 2nd gen state/covert training. They know to stay off any 'phone' due to voice prints, call logs, camera, gps, unique embedded photo codes and risks spyware been pushed onto the phone.
A phone is an open mic, a log of all your contacts and links you to people who might have sold out, been turned or just been lazy or unlucky.
The NSA dictionary search was run by very smart people and the different federal actions never really got too public over many years.
Now every federal, state and telco related agency is trying for the same easy telco feeds on cheap "super" computers after renting or buying dictionary search software.
So your in Iraq and take some "social responsibility" on the phone or as a local...
The phones are all signals intelligence to the USA, meetings of locals would be infiltrated or seen as real defiance.
So expect a day or night raid and then a nice trip to meet new people from around the world in smaller and small rooms.
"Social responsibility" really fits with the role of the Occupying Power.
The problem is all the US officer class gets very very well educated - you don't get to occupy a part of the world to play out "Grozny" in front of the press.
i.e. much international law exists that the USA held up during the cold war with glowing terms about "ensure their security", "educational" and "education of children".
So I guess they got around it via "education of children" and "institutions devoted" is not a university:)
It depends how 'real' this is and who leaked it.
It has been noted in the past that some long and short term US crime 'stings' seem to go very wrong - the people of interest seem to escape to a safe new life "just in time".
It has been noted that in the past the US phone networks "directory assistance", 'support', 'backend' and 'billing' has been outsourced.
With this outsourced package deal, law enforcement gets more simple codes to tap anything on the phone network, but what numbers are of interest seems to be logged too.
What system was "updated" for the US/UK/international feds/police to chat on is ?. Is it a wide pipe, with good US encryption and custom US computers with fancy retro gui numbers on a pretty screen? Or did they get a package deal from a 'security cleared/friendly' non US telco to set up a telco network?
Some groups within the US gov could use this as a very public message to bring back trusted US encryption to US police networks.
Re : "IBM to avoid a potential weakness in the random S-boxes" http://cryptome.org/nsa-v-all.htm
"For this reason IBM developed Lucifer* with a key 128 bits long. But before it submitted the cipher to the NBS, it mysteriously broke off more than half the key."
"As a result of closed-door negotiations with officials of the NSA, IBM agreed to reduce the size of its key from 128 bits to 56 bits. The company also agreed to classify certain details about their selection of the eight S-boxes for the cipher."
*Lucifer was first sold as a cash-dispensing system.
More like what streams to hotels for the expensive digital pay per view boxes connected to your room.
You get a few local and lifestyle media streams for free with a constant reminder of the option to select adult media for $$ per movie.
http://torrentfreak.com/copyright-industry-calls-for-broad-search-engine-censorship-120127/
An idea like that would be useful for the USA. Its from "copyright holders" not some US gov group, content becomes harder to find or is just de-listed.
So terms like “mp3, “flac”, “wma”, “aac”, “torrent”, “download”, “rip”, “stream” or “listen”, “free” get pushed to the back of a few 100, 1000? pages of search results or are just de-listed.
As for secrets? If you write a book you may end up like Glenn Carle, a former CIA agent who wrote about Gitmo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B86rc2VJAio
Or if you write a paper on the "internet" as Sean Gorman did mapping fiber-optic networks http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A23689-2003Jul7?language=printer you may face new "security guidelines".
The next step is Costas Tsalikidis (Greek telco whistleblower) , Adamo Bove (head of security at Telecom Italia) - nobody will know anymore.
The problem with a non-US company is that they may not allow unlimited file transfers, disk storage*- i.e. finding a good cheap web hosting solution outside the US can get very expensive for a simple blog.
Step 1 Register your interesting domain name with a registration service (company A).
Step 2 Find a host with the file transfers numbers and disk storage you need (not with company A).
Step 2.5 Set up your domain with your new host.
Step 3 Use their tools to build your webpage and enjoy blogging.
Step 4 At a later date may want to learn how to code and understand what their tools and templates do and how to create your own.
Step 5 Enjoy reading your raw logs as different searches and ip's find your site.
* i.e. you have to pay into some "Virtual Private Server" for $100 a month with 1000 Gigabytes of Internet or Business plans with 500 Mbytes of months traffic for $50 vs $ 6 for unlimited file transfers, disk storage in the USA.
re Why would we do that? For what purpose?
They keep production costs low, do the work, don't unionise, less health and safety, long hours, no issues if fingers- limbs lost- deaths, keeps local and federal political cash tied to local brand names over generations.
Inspect my factory again and your political cash stops, I can ICE you at any time, help me get re elected.
If the US where to document all the guest workers they would form unions, call EPA, get state health depts in at every death, work normal hours for a US wage.
Or buy robots - expensive, imported parts, imported/expensive skills, do one thing really well at one stage in the growth of your brand vs many cheap undocumented hands.
As for the music - he is all for US art rights. yes or no to use the music and a set price if allowed.
Australia will usually send to you to a small room where they talk to you, scan your case, clothing, do tests and go over and over your background and paper work.
If you fail, your deported or face court.
The interesting part is if you pass - you feel ok as it was fair, honest, by the book and still want to enjoy Australia and spend your cash.
To deny someone entry they would be on the look out for an Australian/ other passport that only links with the 100 points of perfect of photo and medical ID that a person has on them - i.e. no "real" database background in Australia once the questions start.
