[Apologies if you have already received this notice - the mail server at the MIT Media Lab crashed today and we are aware that at least some people on our notice list did not get this important message.] Please be advised that the public forum originally scheduled for Wednesday, September 14, 2005 to address the REAL ID Act of 2005 has been postponed. This has become necessary because many of the people interested in the forum are from the homeland security and first responder communities, and their focus is now squarely on the ongoing efforts to recover from Hurricane Katrina. In place of the September 14th public forum, the MIT Media Lab and the MIT E-Commerce Architecture Program will be organizing an online forum to start a conversation about the REAL ID Act of 2005. This online forum will be an ongoing, asynchronous event lasting from Monday, September 19, 2005 through Friday, September 23, 2005. This online discussion will include presentations by leaders in the field, policy experts and governmental officials who will give deeper background on the status and issues related to REAL ID. There will also be an opportunity for all registrants to participate in a dialog with the speakers and each other. Additional details about the online forum will be available shortly at http://ecitizen.mit.edu/realid.html. Please register at that web site between now and September 19th in order to participate in this web-based discussion. Finally, there will be a physical meeting at MIT to discuss the REAL ID Act of 2005 on Thursday, November 17, 2005. The upcoming online forum will provide an excellent opportunity to design this event so as to provide the maximum benefit for the people who will be attending this gathering. In the meantime, please continue to use the registration feature on the website to let us know if you are interested in participating in the online forum or attending the November meeting. Also be sure to check the website periodically for additional details. Regards, Daniel J. Greenwood, MIT Media Lab, Smart Cities Group, Lecturer MIT E-Commerce Architecture Program, Director --- end forwarded text -- ----------------- R. A.

RFID driver's licenses?
by Nomen Nescio 10 Sep '05

10 Sep '05

A friend of mine is expressing concern over the recently passed REAL ID act which will supposedly require RFID-readable driver's licenses (which it doesn't say in the text of the bill which just makes a vague reference to "machine-readable technology".) My questions are: 1. Have any states already implemented RFID-readable IDs/licenses? 2. If not, which states plan to?

[brian-slashdotnews@hyperreal.org: China Telecom Blocking Skype Calls]
by Eugen Leitl 10 Sep '05

10 Sep '05

The real reason is that they can't tap Skype. Link: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/09/09/2241223 Posted by: Zonk, on 2005-09-09 23:37:00 from the no-freebies dept. [1]Retrospeak writes "According to a Reuters report [2]China is starting to block Skype service in Shenzhen, an affluent southern city of China. Local Chinese media report that China Telecom has plans to eventually block the service throughout its coverage area nationwide. Could this have something to do with the fact that China Telecom charges close to $1 per minute for calls to United States and Europe?" From the article: " A China Telecom spokesman had no comment on the reports about the Shenzhen blockage, but gave a broader view. 'Under the current relevant laws and regulations of China, PC-to-phone services are strictly regulated and only China Telecom and (the nation's other fixed-line carrier) China Netcom are permitted to carry out some trials on a very limited basis,' he said."

Constitution? What Constitution?
by Eric Cordian 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

There's no civil liberty or Constitutional guarantee the President can't violate, as long as he mentions "protecting the nation from terrorism" while trying to justify it. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/09/AR200509090… ----- A federal appeals court ruled today that the president can indefinitely detain a U.S. citizen captured on U.S. soil in the absence of criminal charges, holding that such authority is vital to protect the nation from terrorist attacks. [Oh look. It's the magic "t" word.]] The decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit came in the case of Jose Padilla, a former Chicago gang member who was arrested in Chicago in 2002 and designated an "enemy combatant" by President Bush. The government contends that Padilla trained at al Qaeda camps and was planning to blow up apartment buildings in the United States. Padilla, a U.S. citizen, has been held without trial in a U.S. naval brig for more than three years, and his case triggered a legal battle with vast implications for civil liberties and the fight against terrorism. Attorneys for Padilla and a host of civil liberties organizations blasted the detention as illegal and said it could lead to the military being allowed to hold anyone, from protesters to people who check out what the government considers the wrong books from the library. Federal prosecutors asserted that Bush not only had the authority to order Padilla's detention but that such power is essential to preventing attacks. In its ruling today, the 4th Circuit overturned a lower court and came down squarely on the government's side. ... Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
