Ah, kinder, gentler, "less lethal" police ammo. [snipped] http://www.latimes.com/news/state/20010624/t000052342.html # # Woman Killed in Standoff with Long Beach (CA) Police # # Long Beach homicide detectives are investigating the death of # a 48-year-old woman shot by officers who fired beanbags during # a standoff outside her home. # # Reymer was hit in the arm and torso with beanbags fired from # a 12-gauge shotgun, Tabing said. Police were about 30 to 35 feet # away from her when they fired, after receiving the order from # a sergeant on the scene, she added. # # Beanbags, which police consider "less lethal" ammunition, are # used by police departments across the nation. The bags travel # much more slowly than bullets and are meant to control suspects # without killing them. # # Paramedics, already on the scene, rushed in to perform CPR, Taylor # said. "They rolled her over," he said. "There was no blood, but # she was not responding."

ANGELIC IMPLANT
by Sandy Sandfort 25 Jun '01

C'punks, Here's an article about a human-implanted device: http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=23232 It says in part: "Beginning July 15, Applied Digital Solutions will begin beta testing on humans an implant technology capable of allowing users to emit a homing beacon, have vital bodily functions monitored and confirm identity when making e-commerce transactions.... Digital Angel. sends and receives data and can be continuously tracked by global positioning satellite technology." Boy, that makes me feel comfortable. S a n d y

Freedom's just another word for . . .
by Greg Broiles 25 Jun '01

25 Jun '01

I'm assembling a collection of known attacks on anonymity systems, and went to Zero Knowledge's website to look at their materials, and noticed a few changes that might be of interest to people following the anonymity business - They recently released Freedom 2.2. Their product/service offering now seems to be split into two categories - one "standard service" and one "premium service", where the "premium service" apparently uses crypto (and nesting? hard to tell from the marketing stuff) to provide stronger anonymity, while the standard doesn't, sounding more like a cross between the Anonymizer and Norton Internet Security (at a lower price). With the release of 2.2, Linux and Macintosh versions are no longer supported due to lack of demand. Adam Back, Ian Goldberg, and Adam Shostack put together a really helpful paper ("Freedom 2.1 Security Issues and Analysis") describing known difficulties and holes in their system. It's worth reading and thinking about even if you're not using Freedom, because most of the issues are present for ordinary web users, or users of other privacy-protecting systems. ZKS' willingness and ability to release this sort of information about their product and their field indicates that they've still got people of integrity working there, which is really good to see. The paper is beneath the "white papers" link - they've moved to a dynamic page-generating system which makes me reluctant to post a long (and probably short-lived) URL, but it's not hard to find. -- Greg Broiles gbroiles(a)well.com "Organized crime is the price we pay for organization." -- Raymond Chandler

That makes $25,000 cash per week!! Yes, it's true! After joining this private group, a woman with no business experience began receiving so much cash with their special wealth system, that she was forced to stash it around her house in pillow cases, pockets of clothes in her closet, etc. Now, just 2 years later, she has purchased 12 properties - all in cash! Even though she hasn't actually "worked" the system for over 18 months, she is still receiving thousands of dollars in cash every day, amounting to over $100,000 per month! And she is not alone. Many other people who never made any money with any other program before are using this system to make thousands of dollars a day the easy way! Now it's YOUR turn!
