Terrorist Profiling TIA2 Posted on October 24, 2006 by Robin Reply In their quest for global domination in the Global Big Brother State of USA, they’ve come to the conclusion that all of their seperate profiling and tracking systems don’t work, so what they’re gonna do is combine them all into one huge system called TIA 2. This will supposedly not use personal information (hahahahaha) and no US civilian information (hahahaha) or illegal phonetapping information (hahahaha) or anything else that would make this monster system actually work (hahahaha). Oh and they can’t define ‘normal’ behavior, so they’re not going to even try. They’re just going to follow ‘deviant’ behavior. Whatever that is. Unless it means all behavior. This link has a very good read on the functionalities of the system. The paper, called the TANGRAM Proposer’s Information Packet (PIP) they based it on is to be found here. (This is the government site URL link to the word document)
RFID Credit Cards Posted on October 24, 2006 by Robin Reply Yes, after having proven time and again that RFID is not safe (it’s easily readable and copyable) those twits at the credit card companies have helped enable fraud on a massive scale by deploying RFID on credit cards. Naturally none of your data is protected at all (like, for example encryption) and (almost) all the necessary data to make a credit card purchase is on the chip. Of course that didn’t take too long to make a workable hack of and over 20 credit cards (which is every one the researchers tried) were vulnerable. Easily. You could just tatoo you credit card on your forehead, but that would be too difficult for criminals – they’d have to copy the data using writing or pictures.

Pub owners have been pressured gangland style by HM Government to take your fingerprints on entry.
