It was a LONG "Salomon Internal Audit Division" document, highly detailed,
including historical background info.

This document could be damaging in the wrong hands.

This looked like a Dumb-and-Dumber category transfer.

Five Months Statistics

Okay, I think I've shown you enough security incidents
for you to determine that this is a real thing.

That I am not "full of hooey".

Here is a summary of what I accomplished at Salomon while keyword monitoring.

Thread: Five Months Statistics
---- ------ ----------

I created and did the traffic analysis for five months before handing it
off. The time includes a 2.5 month parallel run with the new person.

The new person found only half the security incidents I did, but we handed
off anyway.

Summarizing my five months:

# "Faster, More Accurate Fingerprint Matching"
# By Andrea Adelson, The New York Times, October 11 1992
#
# "We think there will be a revolution in fingerprinting," said David F.
# Nemecek, a deputy for the FBI's Information Service Division.
#
# The next step is for manufacturers to make a single-finger mobile scanner
# for use in patrol cars. Some FBI cars are expected to get them next year.

$ "The Body As Password", By Ann Davis, Wired Magazine, July 1997
$
$ In October 1995, the Federal Highway Administration awarded a $400,000
$ contract to San Jose State University's College of Engineering to develop
$ standards for a "biometric identifier" on commercial driver's licenses and
$ for use in a centralized national database.

A centralized national database of biometric information for cross-state
driver's licenses, and all individual state driver's license fingerprints
available via the FBI's NCIC.

Once most people are fingerprinted, a cheap (say $50) fingerprint scanner that
attaches a timestamp and government digital signature will be sold for allowing
Internet access to "adult" locations---chat rooms, USENE

technical advances that were occurring did so not entirely
by chance. The computers' ability to acquire, organize, store and
retrieve huge amounts of data was an essential factor leading to the
broad definition of intelligence that was fostered by the National
Security Agency and its godfather, the National Security Council.

Computer research was supported by NSA in a major way by secret research
dollars. Thomas C. Reed, Director of the Pentagon's Telecommunications,
Command and Control System, referring to domestic intercity telephone
microwave radio trunks, said in 1975, "Modern computer techniques make
it possible to sort through that traffic and find target conversations
easily."

p126-127: Since the wiretap law barred the Bureau of Narcotics and
Dangerous Drugs from installing a tap on New York City's Grand Central
Station pay phones, bureau head John Ingersoll asked the NSA for help.

Within a few months the spy agency was sorting through all the
conversations it was already acquiring for general intelligence
purposes.

Of course, the technicians were required to acquire, monitor, and
discard a large number of calls made by people with no connection
with the cocaine business in South American cities.

But so pleased was Mr. Ingersoll with the tips he was getting from the
dragnet mon
