ID cards 'high priority' for government

The UK government is considering making identity cards compulsory as part
of a crackdown on terrorism.
But Home Secretary David Blunkett says he will not be rushed into making a
snap announcement on cards or any other anti-terror measures.

He said: I'm giving it a fairly high priority in terms of the discussions
and the consideration behind the scenes.

There are much broader issues about entitlement and citizenship and not
merely security in terms of some form of identity card which we are
looking at very seriously indeed.

He also maintained that improvements in electronic thumb or fingerprint
technology or even iris-prints meant the threat of forgery would not
make the system redundant. ...

Blunkett wants ID cards for all
BY MELISSA KITE, STEWART TENDLER AND DANIEL MCGRORY
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,2-2001331435,00.html

RIGID security measures, including compulsory identity cards for all
Britons, are being drawn up by ministers as part of the global war against
terrorism.

David Blunkett, the Home Secretary, confirmed yesterday that tough
legislation, which could breach human rights laws, would be brought before
MPs soon. Britain, he said, must throw down the gauntlet to terrorists as
never before.

The proposed legislation is thought to include increased powers of arrest
for the police to interrogate suspects and moves to abolish some rights of
judicial appeal for immigrants turned back at airports.

Police may be allowed to arrest people suspected of having knowledge about
terrorism, simply to interrogate them. Legislation to allow transcripts of
telephone conversations bugged by MI5 to be used as evidence in court is
also reported to be under consideration.

Mr Blunkett confirmed that identity cards were being considered very
seriously indeed. Asked whether they would be voluntary or compulsory, he
said: I think a voluntary card in the present circumstances would not be
a great deal of help.

Speaking on the BBCs On the Record programme, Mr Blunkett said that at
least three anti-terror Bills would introduce a range of new police
powers, including the increased powers of arrest. Compulsory ID cards
would use the latest technology, by scanning the iris of the eye or using
thumb or finger-printing.

If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they
should give serious consideration towards setting a better example:
Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of
unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in
the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and

Jeffrey Rosen's _The Unwanted Gaze:  the destruction of privacy in
America_ is a good general read on this topic, and is generally
recommended.

It doesn't cover the issue of privacy in public in depth, though the
issue is really more one of moving anonymously (or at least largely
unrecorded) through public spaces.

Rosen does discuss privacy at home and at work, and in cyberspace.  The
index doesn't specifically list public spaces, though there's some
discussion of anonymity.  Brandeis and Warren wrote a law review article
in 1890 in the _Harvard Law Review_.

Rosen does touch on expectations of privacy in public spaces:

In _The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera describes how
the police destroyed an important figure of the Prague Spring by
recording his conversations with a friend and then broadcasting them
as a radio serial.

The other interesting discussion is of the Olmstead case (the original
wiretap case).

I would raise objections on the basis of the Fourth and Forteenth
Amendments.

Peace.

No Regrets About Developing PGP

No Regrets About Developing PGP

The Friday September 21st Washington Post carried an article by
Ariana Cha that I feel misrepresents my views on the role of PGP
encryption software in the September 11th terrorist attacks.  She
interviewed me on Monday September 17th, and we talked about how I
felt about the possibility that the terrorists might have used PGP in
planning their attack.  The article states that as the inventor of
PGP, I was overwhelmed with feelings of guilt.  I never implied
that in the interview, and specifically went out of my way to
emphasize to her that that was not the case, and made her repeat back
to me this point so that she would not get it wrong in the article.
This misrepresentation is serious, because it implies that
under the duress of terrorism I have changed my principles on the
importance of cryptography for protecting privacy and civil liberties
in the information age.

Because of the political sensitivity of how my views were to be
expressed, Ms. Cha read to me most of the article by phone before she
submitted it to her editors, and the article had no such statement or
implication when she read it to me.  The article that appeared in the
Post was significantly shorter than the original, and had the
abovementioned crucial change in wording.  I can only speculate that
her editors must have taken some inappropriate liberties in
abbreviating my feelings to such an inaccurate soundbite.

In the interview six days after the attack, we talked about the fact
that I had cried over the heartbreaking tragedy, as everyone else
did.  But the tears were not because of guilt over the fact that I
developed PGP, they were over the human tragedy of it all.  I also
told her about some hate mail I received that blamed me for
developing a technology that could be used by terrorists.  I told her
that I felt bad about the possibility of terrorists using PGP, but
that I also felt that this was outweighed by the fact that PGP was a
tool for human rights around the world, which was my original intent
in developing it ten years ago.  It appears that this nuance of
reasoning was lost on someone at the Washington Post.  I imagine this
may be caused by this newspaper's staff being stretched to their
limits last week.

In these emotional times, we in the crypto community find ourselves
having to defend our technology from well-intentioned but misguided
efforts by politicians to impose new regulations on the use of strong
cryptography.  I do not want to give ammunition to these efforts by
appearing to cave in on my principles.  I think the article correctly
showed that I'm not an ideologue when faced with a tragedy of this
magnitude.  Did I re-examine my principles in the wake of this
tragedy?  Of course I did.  But the outcome of this re-examination
was the same as it was during the years of public debate, that strong
cryptography does more good for a democratic society than harm, even
if it can be used by terrorists.  Read my lips: I have no regrets
about developing PGP.

The question of whether strong cryptography should be restricted by
the government was debated all through the 1990's.  This debate had
the participation of the White House, the NSA, the FBI, the courts,
the Congress, the computer industry, civilian academia, and the
press.  This debate fully took into account the question of
terrorists using strong crypto, and in fact, that was one of the core
issues of the debate.  Nonetheless, society's collective decision
(over the FBI's objections) was that on the whole, we would be better
off with strong crypto, unencumbered with government back doors.  The
export controls were lifted and no domestic controls were imposed.  I
feel this was a good decision, because we took the time and had such
broad expert participation.  Under the present emotional pressure, if
we make a rash decision to reverse such a careful decision, it will
only lead to terrible mistakes that will not only hurt our democracy,
but will also increase the vulnerability of our national information
infrastructure.

PGP users should rest assured that I would still not acquiesce to any
back doors in PGP.

It is noteworthy that I had only received a single piece of hate mail
on this subject.  Because of all the press interviews I was dealing
with, I did not have time to quietly compose a carefully worded reply
to the hate mail, so I did not send a reply at all.  After the
article
appeared, I received hundreds of supportive emails, flooding in at
two
or three per minute on the day of the article.

I have always enjoyed good relations with the press over the past
decade, especially with the Washington Post.  I'm sure they will get
it right next time.

The article in question appears at

 ALBANY, N.Y. -- One third of New Yorkers favor establishing internment
 camps for individuals who authorities identify as being sympathetic
 to terrorist causes, according to a poll from the Siena College
 Research Institute.


As predicted so many years ago, America is now racing faster than its 
feet can carry it toward being a  high-tech police state. Polls are 
being taken, Congresscriminals are proposing new draconian laws, and 
courts have yet to be heard from (will require a few dozen court cases 
before they are heard from).

Unencumbered by any Bill of Rights or true Constitution, the Brits are 
way ahead of us. Arrest on suspicion, detainment without charge, 
outlawing of entire classes of organizations.

The U.S restrictions shutting down various alleged terrorist groups 
would seem to be a slam dunk First Amendment violation. Freedom of 
association means freedom from government shutdown. Freedom to join an 
anti-ZOG group, for example.

Reading the Bill of Rights aloud is now a terrorist act.

 Historically this has often failed (e.g., the lack of outcry against

I won't deny that I think our government is unduly influenced by factions

representatives about what I think is right and just.

I wish I shared your hopeful attitude.  Earlier in our country's history, when the 
public educational system was functioning a bit better, the average citizen had a 
broader perspective and a firsthand knowledge of the Constitution.  Since the '60s the 
public system has all but failed subsequent generations leaving most ignorant and 
uninterested about how we got to where we are today, and easily propaganized.  I've 
spent a considerable amount of time with those younger than 30 and its freightening 
how few (except for the radicals and a few lawyers) have ever read the founder's 
documents.  Democracy only works when a citizenry is well informed.  So what do you do 
now that you've got a generation of rubes?  

The political structure has almost precluded representation by those with minority 
views.  The Republicrats are little more than two underworld gangs fighting over turf 
(us and our taxes) while we only get to flip a coin to determine who sticks it to us.  
How do you convince them that their leaders have been increasingly operating outside 
the intentions of the framers by ignoring and re-interpreting the Constitution to 
accomodate popular political sentement or accomodate powerful forces often with hidden 
agendas?


I encourage everyone to read this book - it says more about the strengths

maybe you remember me from the early days of [EMAIL PROTECTED] just
wanted to butt in here and reply to your post which i saw forwarded to
some other list... it beats me why americans and the western media generally
likes to get worried about the most dangerous spot in the world and next
nuclear warzone that is south asia, given that everyone in  india and pakistan
knows neither country will use any nuclear weapons. the border population
density is too great in both countries and population centres close enough
that any major attack by one country on the other will have a direct fallout
on both (taking delivery range into account). besides, neither govt is or has
been remotely close to dreaming of nuclear attacks, though pakistan 
occasionally talks about them in the hope of getting america worried enough to
get involved in the dispute over kashmir.

indians and pakistanis don't worry about nuclear war because we know that 
the nuclear tests were for attention - india has had the Bomb since 1974, and
pakistan has been known  to have it for a decade. india carried out the tests
because it felt the us was ignoring india (media coverage of asia typically
limited itself to east asia) and wanted more attention. obviously pakistan had
to show that it was as good as its neighbour. that's it.

india's govt has been quietly (and cynically) satisfied at these events, 
because now, as some people have said, the US finally wants to do something
about the terrorists and training camps India's been complaining  about for
years. india won't get involved in pakistan's troubles. rather, it hopes the 
US will somehow manage to shut down the training camps and networks which
harbour groups that attack india... and if that puts pakistan's govt in a
tight situation, well that's just a nice little bonus isn't it.

RE: Expectation of privacy in public?

2001-09-24 Thread Aimee Farr

Under the California statute, a conversation in which the parties have no
expectation that the discussion would not be disclosed to others is not
confidential. Cal. Penal Code. Sect.632(a). Confidentiality has been
construed in California to mean a reasonable expectation that the content
of the communication has been entrusted privately to the listener. Deteresa
v. American Braodcasting Co. 121 F.3d 460, 464 (9th Cir. 1997, cert. denied,
118 S. Ct. 1840 (1998).

Oral Communication under Title I (of Title III or the ECPA) incorporates
the Katz test. The Katz test is two-pronged: (1) the person challenging must
exhibit an expectation of privacy [subjective] and (2) that person must also
be justified in that expectation [objective]. If both prongs are not met,
the conversation is not protected under the constitution against warrantless
surveillance.

Senate Report 1097: neither the speakers intention to talk in confidence nor
the location of where the conversation happened controls the determination
of whether or not he reasonably expected he could not or would not be
overheard. The factors that might be considered in regard to the first prong
are: precautions taken, content, purpose, etc. Therefore, words a person
knowingly puts to the public, possibly even in your home, can be outside
of the Fourth Amendment and Title III. However, it's a very contextual
determination.

Often, the courts use the rationale that because you have no reason to
believe your conversation is not being overheard, you have no reason to
believe you are not being recorded. See In re Johen Doe Trader No. One, 894
F.2d 240, 243 (7th Cir. 1990)(recording on floor of commodities exchange).
They could also make the analogy to a visitor of a bugged house, such as
United States v. Flemmi, 225 F.3d 78 (1st Cir. 2000). However, the mere fact
that the conversation is on government premises does not affect an
expectation of privacy. United States v. Jackson, 588 F.2d 1046, 1052 (5th
Cir. 1979)and a bunch more after that.

Blah, blah, more than you wanted to know.

We are not a democracy, but a repubic (pun intended). The primary responsibility of 
our elected officials is to protect the minorities from the majority and to preserve 
protect and defend the constitution.  Many representatives clearly show they have at 
best a poor understanding of the Constitution, the words and intentions of the 
framers.  Some even show disdain for it.  How many Congressmen do you think ever read 
Thomas Paine's works?


Crypto anarchy is about undermining democracy, causing the house of cards to collapse.


I refuse to give up on our way of life, my fellow citizens, or to write off my 
government as completely and irredemably lost.

You are welcome to refuse to give up on our way of life. Many others over the 
centuries have similarly refused to give up on royalism...I hear there are even clubs 
where people pretend to be various archdukes and viscounts, and even fan clubs for 
the grandchildren of royals deposed 75 years ago.

Maybe there will be fan clubs for democracy supporters. Maybe they will even launch 
little wars agains the royalists.

Democracy will soon be consigned to the dustbin of history.

I hope representative government is not.

India's Emerging Nuclear Posture:
Between Recessed Deterrent and Ready Arsenal
Ashley J. Tellis

http://www.rand.org/publications/MR/MR1127/

And a quick summary:

On May 11, 1998, after a hiatus of more than two decades, India conducted a
series of nuclear tests that signaled a critical shift in its strategic
thinking. Once content to embrace a nuclear posture consisting largely
of maintaining the option--i.e., neither creating a nuclear arsenal nor
renouncing its right to do so--India is now on the threshold of adopting a
posture that, while stopping short of creating a ready arsenal, will take as
its goal the establishment of a minimum but credible deterrent, known as
a force-in-being. This book examines the forces--political, strategic,
technological, and ideational--that led to this dramatic policy shift and
describes how New Delhi's force-in-being will be fashioned, particularly in
light of the threat India faces from its two most salient adversaries, China
and Pakistan.

That's not fair.  It penalizes safer (more massive) cars
without regard to their actual petrol consumption.

If you only tax cars you ignore driving habits --you
subsidize 'wasteful' (but fun) driving, e.g., accelerating
faster than fuel-optimal.  

The market is fair: just let the price of gas
be established by a free market.  Then everyone
can decide whether they want a 1000 lb, 300 hp
car or a 3000 lb, 100 hp car, or something
in between.

Well said.

There was an article the other day about the terrorists, which made the
point that capitalism and fundamentalism were much alike, in that both
share a distrust of democracy.  The same can be said for the cypherpunks.
No wonder that so many here have expressed vitriolic criticism of the
U.S. government response (which has been almost zero), while there has
been little mention of the horrific evil of the terrorist acts themselves.

Putting it starkly, who is more evil: John Ashcroft or Mohammed Atta?

Is it possible that certain cypherpunks find themselves on the same side
as bin Laden and his fundamentalist killers?  Do they secretly support
this murderous attacks on innocent civilians?  We now face biological and
chemical attacks, which are supposed to be even more cruel and shocking
than the WTC attacks.  Are these cypherpunks in favor of seeing more
Americans killed by terrorist actions?

The philosophical connection becomes even clearer with the frequent
statements by cypherpunks that those who disagree need killing, that
blood must be shed by those of different political views.  In effect
this is a call for a Cypherpunk Jihad (the word is often translated as
holy war, but justified struggle is as valid a translation).  It is
no different for Tim May to call for the extinction of his enemies than
for Usama bin Laden to do so.

Cypherpunks need to take a hard look at themselves.  Anyone who feels
horror and disgust at the terrorist acts should recognize that the same
sentiments are found here, just below the surface.  The thinly veiled
threats of bloodshed are based on the same philosophy of violent hatred
and contempt for others which motivates the terrorists.

Tim May and Usama bin Laden are now revealed as philosophical cousins.
It is becoming harder and harder to tell them apart.

THE TERROR TEST AND THE SURVIVAL OF THE WESTERN WORLD
---
We are facing an alliance of leftist forces remnants of Communism and
radical Moslem movements, in which the dictator Fidel Castro places his
expectations.
---
The bloody episodes of terror of September 11th, which occurred
simultaneously in New York and Washington, could in some ways be
interpreted as a huge testing of the North American and world public
opinion, at the hands of anti-Christian forces bent on the destruction
of the Western World. As pointed out by the German strategist Karl von
Clausewitz, the main objective in a war is to eliminate the adversary's
will to resist.  Following that line of thought, the attack on September
11th proved, in the midst of tragedy, in an uplifting reality for the
Western world and undoubtedly uncomfortable for its adversaries: rising
above the pain, uncertainty and the irreversible changes in every day
life, the majority of the people of North American reacted in the spirit
of patriotism and with a determination to resist the enemy, with an
intensity difficult to predict after the nature of such attacks.
Meanwhile, in Latin America a phenomenon is taking place which causes
great apprehension: after the initial horror and consequent solidarity
with the victims, the public opinion has suffered a subtle but effective
pressure from leftist forces, through the media, to try to blame what
happened on the United States, presenting the victims as those which
launched the attacks.
In an attempt to obtain this unacceptable roll reversal, the same
mechanism that has been used so many times to absolve the Communist
regime of Cuba by making the exiled Cubans and the United States the
aggressors. This the same type of play with words by the left that were
used during the 1960's and the 1980's to justify the aggressions in the
continent of pro-Castro guerilla forces.
Regrettably,  there are ecclesiastical voices, independent from their in
tentions, that are allowing themselves to be used in that dangerous
game.  For example, the influential Brazilian Archbishop Mons. Luciano
Mendes de Almeida, who served in a prominent position in the Catholic
Conference of Brazil and in CELAM, said referring to the attacks of
September 11th:  It is because of the extreme amount of poverty and the
domination of some countries over others, that things of this nature
occur.
This type of talk is occurring mainly in Latin America put it can also
be heard in Europe and even in the United States, with the collaboration
of those mechanisms that protect the so called anti-globalization
movements.  In the concrete order of the acts which occurred we are in
the presence of an alliance between leftist forces remnants of Communism
and radical Moslem movements, in which the dictator Fidel Castro places
his expectations of survival.
All of this brings us to a fundamental theme, in which we have insisted
upon an uncountable amount of times, when it comes to the defense of the
Western world and the cause of freedom of Cuba: the importance of
publicity. In effect, it seems exaggerated to say after having witnessed
the destructive capacity of terrorism, but in reality the decisive
battle continues to be in the psychological and ideological fields. A
type of battle which is capable of destroying man spiritually, all the
while maintaining his physical health intact.
We decidedly enter into a world where chaos is multiplied by chaos. To
learn to survive in that atmosphere means not accepting it as something
natural but instead each time we need to prepare ourselves to have more
will to resist and more of a vigilant spirit.
Without a doubt, the results of the test of terror where not totally
favorable for the anti-Christian forces.  But it is also true that we
have before us an arduous path, full of traps and things that are
unforeseen. Let us learn necessary lessons for the cause of freedom.
Far from the vicissitude of the present time and future circumstances,
the promise of the Most Holly Virgin in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917, which
is undoubtedly a motive for bright hope:  At last, my Immaculate Heart
will triumph.
