Re: <nettime> Glenn Greenwald: DOJ subpoenas Twitter records of several WikiLeaks volunteers (Salon.com)

Hi, an interesting article concerning this was published in the New York Times on monday: Twitter Shines a Spotlight on Secret F.B.I. Subpoenas http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/10/business/media/10link.html?_r=1 It seems that Twitter was only able to unseal the subpoena because of a case that was made public last August: Nick Merrill got a gag order by the FBI under the Patriot Act in 2004. He ran a small ISP, hosting NGOs, independent media and more. The FBI wanted information about one of his clients. With the support of the ACLU he fought the gag order, not being allowed to tell *anyone* that this was going on for six years. He was the first person to fight a gag order and only because he was partly successful it was possible for Twitter to unseal the subpoenas and let the account owners know about it. Nick told his story during the CCC congress in December in Berlin (27c3), see http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4263.en.html http://mirror.fem-net.de/CCC/27C3/mp4-h264-HQ/27c3-4263-en-resisting_excess… or http://mirror.fem-net.de/CCC/27C3/mp3-audio-only/27c3-4263-en-resisting_exc… or http://www.youtube.com/user/kkkwwwaaakkk#p/u/6/sDkHPNbCC1M Rop Gonggrijp, one of the people about whom Twitter is being subpoenad, held the keynote of the 27c3 and also talked about his experience with Wikileaks in Iceland, and why he withdrew from that work. At the time of the keynote he didn't know about the subpoena, I believe. http://mirror.fem-net.de/CCC/27C3/mp4-h264-HQ/27c3-4302-en-27c3_keynote_we_… or http://mirror.fem-net.de/CCC/27C3/mp3-audio-only/27c3-4302-en-27c3_keynote_… or http://www.youtube.com/user/kkkwwwaaakkk#p/search/2/ALNovMk3fC8 Two remarkable talks.

FC: Day #1: U.S. v. Jim Bell report from federal court in Tacoma
by Declan McCullagh 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

http://www.cluebot.com/article.pl?sid=01/04/04/0358253 U.S. v. Jim Bell Trial, Day #1 By Declan McCullagh (declan(a)well.com) April 3, 2001 TACOMA, Washington -- Jim Bell's trial began today in federal court here. Bell is best known as the author of "Assassination Politics," but he is charged with stalking federal agents. He says, and some observers agree, that the Feds are prosecuting him for doing what an investigative reporter does: Compiling information from publicly available databases, documenting what's happening, and so on. This case could set a precedent that affects the First Amendment privilege of journalists. Bell is smart, rude, and ungainly. He's not particularly affluent -- he lived at home with his parents -- and he's an outspoken foe of an oppressive federal government. He's already had run-ins with the Feds over false Social Security numbers, and has spent a few years in prison And, as you'll see in a moment, he has infinite trouble keeping his mouth shut. It's unclear why the U.S. government is spending so much effort trying to keep him behind bars: Probably the best explanation is that they're trying to depict him as a domestic terrorist and make an example of him. Although the Department of Justice hasn't charged him with a speech crime by writing "Assassination Politics," it's the cornerstone of their case. In the morning session on Tuesday, Bell's attorney Robert Leen tried to off himself from the case, which he's spent months trying unsuccessfully to accomplish. He had no better luck today. "Haven't we gone through this once?" U.S. District Judge Jack Tanner growled. "You will not be removed... I'm not going to let you withdraw, but I am going to tell the defendant that he has a right to represent himself... If he wishes to take over the case, he is free to do so." Tanner allowed that Leen had represented his reluctant client "very well." The background: Bell has tried for months to fire his court-appointed attorney, saying his attorney has been so negligent in filing motions that Bell's case has been damaged beyond repair. Around this time, Bell started complaining to the judge, who shot back: "You will address the court when you're asked to, and no other time." Leen asked for the dismissal of counts four and five against his client (on grounds that interstate stalking by way of a facility of interstate commerce was not applicable). Tanner denied the motion. Bell wants to call two or three U.S. Marshals to testify as defense witnesses (presumably based on what they may have witnessed during the raid on Bell's house). Leen complained that the U.S. Marshals were unwilling to serve subpoenas on themselves. The judge delayed ruling on the request and asked for a written motion instead. The government wanted the judge to hold Bell in contempt for refusing to follow a court order saying he must give a handwriting sample. Tanner said the Feds should simply tell this to the jury and let them make up their minds about what Bell's refusal means. Bell spoke up once again, and Tanner got peeved. "You're either going to be muzzled or sent downstairs," Tanner told Bell. "You're not going to get a mistrial." (Apparently a basement room of the courthouse includes a closed-circuit TV system for precisely this reason.) Tanner didn't notice this, but at one point Bell wrote on "SHAM" on a yellow legal pad and held it up to the spectators. Tanner is, incidentally, 82 years old and a no-nonsense guy who makes a habit of terrorizing lawyers. In 1992, he was sued by an attorney who called in sick and was rousted from his bed after Tanner sent the U.S. Marshals to drag him into court. A special issue of The American Lawyer two decades ago on the "best and worst" federal judges dubbed Tanner "the worst district judge in the Ninth Circuit." But maybe he's mellowed: He seemed brusque today, but reasonable. Leen, by this point sweating and increasingly nervous, reluctantly brought up Bell's allegations of a conspiracy involving, well, just about everyone: Prosecution, defense, and the judge. Leen meekly asked the judge about Bell's accusations involving the judge's representation of some clients before he took over his current job circa 1979. Tanner was perplexed, a little annoyed, and said he "never heard of (Jim Bell") before this case, and that was that. Leen's second allegation was a conspiracy involving the Feds. The broad outline seems to be that the Feds had "an agreement" with a fellow prisoner during Bell's earlier incarceration who was named Ryan Lund. It required Lund to beat up Bell while both were in prison in exchange for a lighter sentence. Tanner didn't spend much time here either. I left the courtroom at this point. The remainder is reconstructed based on interviews with multiple people who remained behind -- one person even provided me with written notes -- and I believe it to be accurate. When I was outside the courtroom, I saw the potential jurors filter in, about 30 of them. They seemed to be a reasonable cross-section of the Seattle area, jeans, sweatshirts, an even split between male and female, largely white (only two African Americans, both men, who ended up on the jury). Once they were inside, the judge asked them questions including whether they had family members who were government employees, whether they had been audited by the IRS, whether they had used the Internet (almost everyone had), whether they used Usenet newsgroups (a few had), or chatrooms (about four had). Nobody had heard of Jim Bell or Assassination Politics, and one guy who didn't end up on the jury said he had heard of the cypherpunks. One woman said she participated in a funeral director's newsgroup. The government had six preemptory challenges, and the defense had 10 challenges. After the challenges, 12 jurors plus one alternate were randomly selected out of the remaining people. The trial resumed around 1:30 pm PT. Assistant U.S. Attorney Robb London gave the opening statement for the government, telling a chronological story of Bell's alleged activities, starting with his involvement with a "common law court" about five years ago. London said Bell was unhappy with government agencies, and offered the "court" a solution to the problem of enforcing their judgements against federal officials. That solution? Assassination Politics, a scheme involving digital cash, the Internet, and anonymity that Bell spent years discussing in various online fora. (The common law court was a centerpiece of the government's earlier prosecution of Bell; they seem to be recycling this charge.) London recounted how Bell allegedly researched information on federal agents Mike McNall and Jeff Gordon. He said Bell kept notes -- a "diary" -- of his research. This mirrors the government's original complaint. London brought up the cypherpunks -- a mailing list devoted to privacy, anonymity, and politics -- in his opening statement. He mentioned John Young, who runs cryptome.org and has been called as a prosecution witness. This gets a bit muddled, but London reportedly was talking about Young's public hypothesis last year that a certain fellow may be a CIA agent in Bend, Oregon -- which prompted Bell to conduct a subsequent investigation. My understanding of London's opening statement was that the Feds bugged Bell's car with a GPS receiver that constantly transmitted his location to the Feds. Treasury agent Gordon reportedly has a nice setup: He gets alerted (pager? I don't know) whenever Bell strayed more than three miles from his home. Presumably we'll see these GPS location records introduced into evidence. London appeared to use this GPS information (this is my understanding of the written notes) to overlay on an aerial photograph and show Bell allegedly trespassed 75 yards onto someone's property. Leen's opening statement took another direction: "A fine line between stalking and investigation." He distanced himself personally from Assassination Politics and said it was "scary," but it was an example of free speech in action. He said that even if Bell was somewhat loony -- my paraphrase -- "he had the right to investigate" what he believed to be a government conspiracy against him. Leen said the "common law court" -- the members apparently talked a lot but never took any action -- was an example of free political speech. He said that law enforcement agents were paranoid, and had an us-vs-them mentality. If anyone else was being (allegedly) stalked, Leen said, they'd go down to the local sheriff and ask for a restraining order. But an IRS agent gets to make a federal case out of it. Leen talked at some length -- more than London -- about the cypherpunks, discussing their philosophy, saying they were concerned about privacy and anonymity. He reportedly brought up the name of cypherpunk co-founder Tim May. The government's first witness was an undercover federal agent named Walsh who wore a bodywire and infiltrated the "common law court" that Bell occasionally attended. London played a 30-second videotape of Bell at one meeting, presumably obtained through a hidden camera Walsh carried. Walsh said that at one meeting, Bell offered him a floppy disk with (presumably a text file) of Assassination Politics on it. Walsh said that Bell was at three meetings of the "court" while Walsh had attended "a couple of dozen." Walsh reportedly participated fully in these events, voting to convict his colleagues -- federal employees -- of crimes in absentia. A surprise was that the Libertarian Party of Washington state came up. Walsh reportedly said he met Bell at or immediately after a LP meeting. This could raise questions about the IRS and other federal agencies infiltrating and spying on U.S. political parties. The trial is expected to resume at 9:30 am Wednesday. Tanner has reportedly said he wants to finish the entire trial by Friday. --- Assassination Politics: http://www.zolatimes.com/v2.26/jimbell.htm Government's original complaint: http://cryptome.org/jdb111700.htm Bell's own filings: http://cryptome.org/jdb032801.htm#filings More on first day of trial: http://www.politechbot.com/p-01883.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if it remains intact.

[Politech] Nude photos on cell phones lure cops; always encrypt everything [priv]

Here's the original story in the Houston Chronicle: http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/metropolitan/3101557 "During the arrest, they discovered that the woman had stored sexually explicit photos of herself in her cell phone, and Green downloaded the images onto his personal digital assistant, according to the search request." FileVault and PGPdisk are handy utilities: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/filevault/ http://www.pgpi.org/products/pgpdisk/ https://store.pgp.com/ -Declan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Nude Pix Put Cops In a Fix Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2005 04:37:46 +0000 From: Scott H. <zuker5(a)hotmail.com> To: declan(a)well.com Not sure if this is of interest for Politech, but it sure seems beyond the pale of unreasonable search and seizure (small pun). Hypothetically, what if the phone had a picture of the woman in question standing over a dead person in back of her home? Is this a warrantless search and if they find the body in her home is this fruit from a poisoned tree? Do the police have a right to search through all the "data" a person has in thier possession at the time of arrest? What about a USB flash drive?

<dave(a)farber.net> Subject: TSA missed 90% of bombs at Denver airport TSA missed 90% of bombs at Denver airport posted by Cory Doctorow at 09:48:08 AM http://www.boingboing.net/2007/03/30/tsa_missed_90_of_bom.html Undercover agents were able to slip bombs and IEDs past the Transport Security Agency checkpoint at Denver airport 90 percent of the time. Last time I was in Denver, the eagle-eyed agent was able to spot and confiscate my toothpaste, and of course, my suitcase arrived damaged, contents filthy, having been pawed at by a TSA goon and then improperly closed. These eagle-eyed guardians of freedom are so obsessed with making sure that we're all sharing our foot-funguses with each other on while our shoes go through the X-ray machine that they can't actually find actual bombs. It's great that the TSA devotes all its energies to stopping the kind of ridiculous terrorist attacks that don't work, like shoe bombs and moisture bombs. Makes me feel much safer. I sleep better knowing that four-year-olds whose names sound vaguely like some terrorist's possible alias are kept off our planes. In one test, sources told 9NEWS an agent taped an IED to her leg and told the screener it was a bandage from surgery. Even though alarms sounded on the walk-through metal detector, the agent was able to bluff her way past the screener... Dzakovic was a Red Team leader from 1995 until September 11, 2001. After the terrorist attacks, Dzakovic became a federally protected whistleblower and alleged that thousands of people died needlessly. He testified before the 9/11 Commission and the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the US that the Red Team "breached security with ridiculous ease up to 90 percent of the time," and said the FAA "knew how vulnerable aviation security was." Dzakovic, who is currently a TSA inspector, said security is no better today. "It's worse now. The terrorists can pretty much do what they want when they want to do it," he said.
