Tombstone Taps: 5th Cir
by Aimee Farr 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

"The dispositive issue in Kee and Routier's complaint is whether the secret electronic recording of their private prayers and conversations directed at their deceased relatives violated their reasonable expectation of privacy." http://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/99/99-10555-cv0.htm "In their affidavits, Kee and Routier assert that their "grieving conversations and statements" and "oral prayers and communications to ourselves and our God" should be private and not subject to government wiretaps. These statements, alone, cannot sustain the weight of Kee and Routier's burden in establishing that they had a subjective expectation of privacy." ..... Opinion hinges on: "The Failure to Demonstrate Sufficient Facts to Establish a Subjective Expectation of Privacy" ..... "Perhaps most damaging to Kee and Routier's argument is that they failed to present evidence demonstrating any affirmative steps taken to preserve their privacy. While it is apparent from their affidavits that they did not expect government agents surreptitiously to be recording their prayers, they also were aware that the service was being conducted in an outdoor setting. Kee and Routier fail to allege that they took any steps to ensure that unwanted individuals were excluded or that they did anything to preserve the private nature of the service. They point to no reasonable safeguards or common-sense precautions taken to preserve their expectation of privacy." ~Aimee (The dead don't talk, but they do listen. I'm envisioning Mafia funerals with TSCM checkpoints. "YOU ARE BEING RECORDED" epitaphs.)

ap in action (/. story)
by Tom 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

seems someone put AP into action - and it worked quite well, exactly as jim predicted, and even without crypto (though without rewards either). see http://slashdot.org/yro/01/03/28/2130219.shtml in short: an anti-abortionist website published names and addresses of doctors who made abortions, then cheered whenever one of them was killed. circuit judge wrote: "[...] if their [works] merely encouraged unrelated terrorists, then their words are protected by the First Amendment." I wonder if he'd had the same if the website had listed targets from the political arena. or judges. -- -- http://www.lemuria.org -- http://www.Nexus-Project.net --

after an initial (only half-serious) idea posted by me to the dvd-discuss mailing list, someone actually created a program to create secret keys that result in your public key being a compressed version of decss. ----- Forwarded message from Harold Eaton <haceaton(a)hotmail.com> -----
