AAMVA National ID Forum, Feb 26-29
by John Gilmore 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

They call it the "2004 Driver Licensing and Identification Security Forum". But what it really is about is making "one individual, one document, one database record" -- in other words, one national ID per person in the US, that happens to be issued by the US states (and Canadian provinces and Mexican states). Join the bureaucrats who are plotting to make this happen, in scenic Houston, Feb 26-29. (Don't forget to show your ID to travel there, and also to check in to the Westin Galleria, "of course". That requirement is why I won't be there; I'm under regional arrest because I refuse to get, or show, such an ID.) Feb 29th is specially set aside as "Canada Day" for dealing with how Canadian provinces are going to issue these coordinated "US National IDs". http://www.aamva.org/events/mnu_evt2004IDSecuritySummit.asp (Meeting Contact: Lucia Osterbind, +1 703 522 4200) This AAMVA project is a multi-year effort that started before 9/11 but accelerated afterward, in a misguided attempt to categorize and file every person on the continent so we'll then know all the "good guys" from the "bad guys" and can merely lock up all the bad guys and then we'll feel safe. The bills that authorize and enable this cross-state collaboration are due to be introduced in state legislatures STARTING NOW, and need active opposition from local privacy groups. But first, you need information about what they're up to -- so attend. Privacy activists and journalists should converge on this conference, to find out what's really happening, and to ask them if they've lost their minds. Curiously, the scheme is being perpetrated by middle level bureaucrats in state motor vehicle agencies, who actually think they are doing good for the world by tracking every citizen from the cradle to the grave. Privacy activists have been absent from their deliberations for years. Neither their bosses the Governors, nor their own legislatures, know what they are up to. (The Feds are in it up to their armpits, of course, but only as "advisors".)

US-VISIT RFID passes @ 3 US-CDN border xings beginning 8/4/05
by Ari Ollikainen 06 Jul '18

For IP... High-tech border pass raises alarm Friday, July 29, 2005 - 07:00 Local News - By Jennifer Pritchett Whig-Standard Staff Writer Kingston's closest U.S. border crossing will employ high-tech radio frequency technology to monitor visitors from other countries who want to enter the States from Canada - a move that alarms both a Kingston privacy expert and an immigration specialist. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said this week that the crossing between Lansdowne and Alexandria Bay, N.Y., will be one of three Canada-U.S. land borders to require non-Canadians to carry wireless devices as part of a pilot project. Travellers will be required to carry the devices as of Aug. 4. The technology is part of US-VISIT, a billion-dollar anti-terrorism initiative launched last December that has kept about 700 criminals, including one posing as a Canadian, out of the States. US-VISIT uses biometric information from photos and fingerprints taken from non-Canadians at border crossings to track residents from other countries who enter the U.S. Canadian citizens are the only people in the world exempt from US-VISIT. Travellers required to use the technology include landed immigrants living in Canada, Canadian citizens who are either engaged to a U.S. citizen or who have applied for a special business visa. They'll have to carry the wireless devices as a way for border guards to access the electronic information stored inside a document about the size of a large index card. Visitors to the U.S. will get the card the first time they cross the border and will be required the carry the document on subsequent crossings to and from the States. Border guards will be able to access the information electronically from 12 metres away to enable those carrying the devices to be processed more quickly. Two other border crossings between Surrey, B.C., and Blaine, Wash., will also be implementing the technology as part of the pilot project. Kimberly Weissman, spokeswoman for the US-VISIT program at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security told The Whig-Standard yesterday that the new devices can't be tracked outside the border crossing area. "It has a range of 10 to 15 metres," she said. "The UHF frequency that we've chosen makes it impossible to locate a specific person." But the use of the wireless technology raises alarm bells for Queen's University law professor and privacy expert Art Cockfield. "It's intrusive and these are worrisome developments," he said. "Often these technologies are introduced in a fairly minor form and then the technology is extended.What would be very troubling to me would be the tracking of visitors after they've crossed the border." Cockfield, who's part of a Queen's research group called the Globalization of Personal Data Team, said he's so alarmed by these new devices that his team will likely investigate them further after learning about them yesterday. Though the new devices don't violate Canadian law, because visitors are under the jurisdiction of American law once inside the U.S., Cockfield said their use raises disturbing questions about how the technology may be used in the future. "If I'm close to the border and still on Canadian ground and a U.S. customs guard is scanning me and finding out personal information about me, that actually might be a violation of Canadian law because they're collecting information on a Canadian resident who is still in Canada," Cockfield said. He said the devices smack of a "Martha Stewart-like prison tracking device." "It's one thing to have a police officer approach you and ask for your identification, but it's another thing for somebody sitting in an office somewhere in Washington to track all your movements through a satellite signal," he said. "It's in the realm of possibilities." He said the devices move the world closer to a total surveillance society. "It certainly tracks you as you approach the border and as you cross the border," he said. "If we think we're subject to government surveillance, that immediately changes our behaviour," he said. "If you want to swear about Bush, you might hold yourself back. It inhibits political dissent because if we think the government is watching us, we'll be less likely to call a town hall meeting to protest something we're upset about." Cockfield, who just moved back to Canada from a seven-year stint teaching in Texas, also believes the devices will result in less cross-border traffic. "I try not to go as frequently as usual because of these border hassles, and I'm white and I'm a Canadian citizen," he said. "If I was non-white and a landed immigrant, I would hesitate to a greater extent." He said the initiative will have a long-term, negative impact on Canada-U.S. relations. "The flows of people [across the border] bring about ties and understanding between the two countries," he said. "If we inhibit those flows, then maybe it will actually harm the security of the U.S. We will be less trusting of the Americans." Sam Laldin of Kingston and District Immigrant Services also agrees that requiring non-Canadians to carry such electronic devices may deter some people from travelling to the U.S. "If I don't have to, I will avoid going there," he said. Laldin, who came to Canada from Pakistan in 1967, said a lot has changed since he became a Canadian citizen in 1970. Laldin said this latest security step will affect hundreds of people living in Kingston, many of whom use the Lansdowne border crossing when they travel to the U.S. Last year alone, Kingston District Immigrant Services provided assistance to roughly 1,200 people from 35 countries. Laldin said the devices open the door to the possibility of the American government tracking people and gathering intelligence about them. "I kind of feel uncomfortable because I don't know what that device is doing and I don't know where that device is reporting," he said. "Although they say it will expedite your entry through the border, it may be doing something else, too." While he understands that extra measures may need to be taken to ensure that non-Canadians entering the U.S. have the proper documentation, he doesn't agree with the use of the electronic devices. "The flip side of all this is the security and safety of the country and the people living in the country and where to draw the line - it's a difficult thing," he said. "I think they could do everything they need to do at the border crossing instead of giving people something to carry with them," he said. "My nephew is a Canadian medical doctor and each time he crosses back and forth, they fingerprint him, which is fine if that's the law they want. People come prepared and they know they'll be fingerprinted. "But to carry a device is something I personally don't think I would want to do." - With a file from Whig-Standard News Services -- - - - Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it. --Mark Twain ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as eugen(a)leitl.org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/ ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.leitl.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]
