In additional to the reasons given in the previous sections,
the 'debate' reasons constantly given by the government
are reviewed and debunked. And our nation's experts say it
will hurt security. The GAO says the same thing.
o Part 5: There is no part five.
o Part 6: Louis Freeh & The Creeping Police State
Basically, Louis Freeh is the anti-Christ leading us to Hell.
National ID cards are effectively being implemented without
needing to issue cards. The U.S. Government is trying to
monitor all phone calls and banking transactions, and have
all equipment worldwide designed for their monitoring. They
are bent on controlling the world to the point of there being
no crime left on the planet. Of course, democracy destroyed
is the direct result.

Wow.
It does have a kind-of Singapore feel to it...being able to track cars.
Well, it's not like they're going to go nutcake and
install a monitoring grid over the entire metropolis.
They wouldn't do that, right?

The New York Times, April 13, 1997
U.S. Under Secretary Raymond W. Kelly signed an order on Aug 7th requiring
New York businesses transmitting cash to report all transactions over
$750. The order was not publicly announced. It is part of emergency
powers. [President Clinton subsequently makes it permanent nationwide.]
----
NYC Mayor and former federal prosecutor Rudolph Giuliani has made
some emphatic statements proposing $100 dollar bills be eliminated
to combat drug dealers. Perhaps all cash will be next.

* On November 11, 1993, apparently tipped off by a friendly bank clerk who
* thought Alvarez's redeposits looked like "structuring", the Internal
* Revenue Service seized $88,315.76, the life savings of a hard-working
* immigrant.
*
* The government, of course, had no evidence that Alvarez was using the
* money for improper purposes, or was in any way connected with drugs or
* drug-dealing, for the simple reason that he wasn't doing any such thing.
*
* In this case, under the astonishing provisions of our nation's asset
* forfeiture laws, the mere administrative finding that Alvarez had
* "structured" his transactions was enough to justify the seizure.
[
We have Federal laws against terminating someone's benefits based solely
(automatically by computer) on "computer matching" hits of possible
ineligibility. But NOTHING to protect us from this nearly IDENTICAL
use of computer data to terminate "benefits".
]
* To the government, the question of whether the money had been legally
* earned or was the product of a nefarious drug sale was of no concern.

* Maybe worse than the nebulous structuring provision is a feature of the

INCIDENTS HAVE NOT STOPPED DESPITE REPEATED SISS REPORTS!
This report should be taken as a complaint that insufficient procedures
have been put in place to ensure current and new Salomon personnel are
made aware of the security issues of Internet transmissions for network
device configuration files. Suggest wide-spread distribution of a memo
concerning the problem. Perhaps place "no-Internet-transmission" comments
in all network config files. Standard warning issued to all new networkers.
Three transmissions of live passwords to three different Salomon routers
have been sent in cleartext over the Internet by Rock Transves nnn-nnnn

[ Yes, I am aware of the cocaine/crack sentencing discrimination. ]
You monitor any group real close, you'll get many arrests.
The implications of heavy monitoring are serious.
* Jan 30 1997, The New York Times, page A12

* Blacks make up 51 percent of the 1.1 million inmates in state and
* Federal prisons, the Sentencing Project study said, though
* blacks are only 14 percent of the nation's population.
*
* Of a total voting age population of 10.4 million black men nationwide,
* an estimated 1.46 million have lost the right to vote [as a result].
Wow.
This highly focused monitoring of blacks should be way illegal.
Blacks make up 14% of our U.S. population.
Blacks make up 51% of our prison population.
Never forget what it means to be heavily monitored: there is no place to hide.
Noone is an angel.
Are you?
What's in store next for black Americans?
