I wouldn’t depend on Russia Today telling me what I should and shouldn’t know about the FBI.

Agree. If I research ANYTHING on the Internet, I start getting advertisements or suggested articles on whatever I was researching. It is just creepy. I know GWB authorized SOME data collecting, but this Admin is getting RIDICULOUS. Maxine Waters told the truth when she talked about the monumental data collecting of the Obama Admin.

“I don’t know, and I think some people are missing something here,” Waters said.

“The president has put in place an organization that contains a kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life,” she added. “That’s going to be very, very powerful.”

Martin asked if Waters if she was referring to “Organizing for America.”

“That’s right, that’s right,” Waters said. “And that database will have information about everything on every individual in ways that it’s never been done before.”

Do you expect the FBI or that Lyncher to inform you?

Absolutely right.

And what’s to stop them from uploading the info to a drone and programmed to fire upon that individual with those biometrics?

What recourse would anyone have?

I think we are under Big Brother’s grandfather.

It is just a matter of time until the FIB gives up the whole data base to hackers like the GSA did.

There are some aspects of this that aren’t being reported.

I worked on the requirements for NGI, and also with its’ predecession, IAFIS.

Simply put, Uncle Sam does not have full rights to most of the data on the system. The data belongs to the states that provided it, and each has specific, and difference, requirements and permissions for the data they provide to be used by others. The states provide a copy of the data for indexing and retrieval, but the rights management on that data has to be seen to be believed.

When I worked IAFIS, we had 80+ different sources of data, including the States, the various Indian Nations, and several foreign or international sources.

***EACH*** of which had difference release criteria. . .

It is NOT the cut-and-dried problem the article suggests . . .

My question is why are we only hearing about this in Russia Today, Times, whatever, and not NY Times, LA Times, WaPo, etc., etc...and how does our esteemed “Conservative” members of Congress feel about this?

Let me know when a drone can target you based on your fingerprints, your hand geometry, or tattoos and scars that aren’t normally visible.

I’ll grant you an OUTSIDE chance of facial recognition, but you don’t need a drone to do that, just surveillance cameras. . .

When you sign up with the TSA for pre-check, where do you think your fingerprints and iris scans are kept?

I really was referring to the iris of the eyes and voice recognition.

Last week I bought something online. Right after I bought it I began seeing advertisements for that exact product on every site I visited. I was thinking, "I just bought it. I don't think I really need to see ads for it."

The internet needs to work on its sales tactics.

“So remind me, Edward Snowden is our enemy, right?”

Exactly!

Back in the day I was disappointed and a little shocked when Lou Dobbs went on for what seemed days on end how Snowden was a traitor and should be forced back here to face appropriate penalties.

Dobbs - who once was a stalwart for freedom and the Constitution (when with CNN) goes NeoCon at FOX. At least with this.

One need only look up Real ID. Your drivers license has been turned into the National ID Card that Congress just couldn’t pass until they turned it over to States with significant dollars attached and voila’ twenty some States bit right away, now there are more and more requirements to be Real ID compliant, but more and more states are considering being less compliant as they realize what is involved regarding collection of biometric data without permission of those whose data is being collected. That would be “We the People”.

Mistakes will be made. That’s why they need to implant a chip in your body.

“establishing patterns of activity “

Has anyone other than me noticed that most acts of terrorism are being committed by middle eastern males aged 25-40?

The govt can find out where any of us live. So they can certainly take out individuals.
