Feebs lose snooping van
by Subcommander Bob 20 Sep '01

20 Sep '01

Wonder if there were any laptops on board... http://www.thewbalchannel.com/news/967668/detail.html LAUREL, Md., 1:40 p.m. EDT September 20, 2001 -- An FBI spokesman said a 1992 Dodge conversion van owned by the agency and containing radio equipment was stolen early Thursday morning in Laurel. Agents have been in the area to investigate ties to last week's terrorist attacks in New York andWashington. Laurel residents and employees have told agents that some of the suspected terrorists spent their final days in Laurel, Greenbelt and Beltsville. FBI spokesman Peter Gulotta declined to say why the van was in the area. He says that to the best of his knowledge, the van didn't have evidence connected to the terrorist attacks. Gulotta says the van was stolen about 4:30 a.m. while it was unattended. The suspects are two men who pulled up to the FBI van in a white van with stolen tags. The blue FBI van was last seen heading south on Interstate 295 toward Washington.

a libertarian approach to airport security: suggestions
by auto301094＠hushmail.com 20 Sep '01

20 Sep '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Does anyone have any ideas on implementing a more libertarian approach to airport security technology and policy? For example, if someone asked you to contribute to a policy point paper to brief the White House, what would you recommend? I'm sure we could all recite the endless litany of Surveillance State measures best flushed straight down the toilet--but where are the proactive solutions? Here's a start: 1. Simplify Federal air regulations: the current patchwork of requirements creates sometimes contradictory rules that hinder industry initiative and confound enforcement efforts. 2. Improve air traffic control practices, including emphasis on GPS enroute navigation over traditional airways routing (Free Flight) and better analysis of and response to changing airport capacity issues. 3. Implement private sector fault-checking airport/airline security systems using adversary testing (teams organized to regularly attempt to breach security). We can't afford to throw in the towel in disgust (tempting though it may be) and leave this debate to the cowardly 70 percent. Which reminds me, here's a word of wisdom from Herman Kahn for those of you who lost your nerve: "Critics frequently refer to the icy rationality of the Hudson Institute, the RAND Corporation and other such organizations. I'm always tempted to ask in reply, 'Would you prefer a warm, human error? Do you feel better with a nice emotional mistake?' We cannot expect good discussion of security problems if we are going to label every attempt at detachment as callous, every attempt at objectivity as immoral. Technical details are not the only important operative facts. Human and moral factors...must never be missing from policies and public discussion. But emotionalism and sentimentality, as opposed to morality and concern, only confuse the debates. Nor can experts be expected to repeat, 'If, heavean forbid...", before every sentence." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: Hush 2.0 wl8EARECAB8FAjuqOh4YHGF1dG8zMDEwOTRAaHVzaG1haWwuY29tAAoJEKadvsVlUK4P fJ0An3rXaFEQ4aYH9tCPWW5Rb8yrF92FAKCX/u1dctF4TqbGR4C9XlEa588yaw== =TE7z -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

It's beginning to look more and more like Tim is absolutely right. There are just one fuck of a lot of people in this country that really, seriously, need killing. It is utterly amazing how quickly, because of one incident, all these "leaders" are jumping thru the "trash the Constitution" hoop. And, of course, anyone who attempts to actively oppose their fascist schemes, is "aiding and abetting terrorists". Is there no way out of this?

One of the easiest, most effective and difficult to detect back doors is to compromise the PRNG.

Why the Palestinian Candy Story Was Believed
by Matthew Gaylor 20 Sep '01

20 Sep '01

There are reasons why alleged urban legends such as when CNN filmed the Palestinian candy celebration are believed. It is in part due to an innate distrust of government and the fact that governments do engage in propaganda and disinformation campaigns. <http://cryptome.org/madsen-hmhd.htm> Wayne Madsen wrote: "The Pentagon is a master at deception campaigns aimed at the news media. They constantly broadcast disinformation to television and radio audiences in Haiti, Serbia, Colombia, Mexico and elsewhere." Most of us should remember the mini-flap (Which should have been much larger) when it was revealed that the US Army's psychological operations units intern at CNN. Now "Ha'aretz Daily" reports that an Israel Defence Force (IDF) film crew was dispatched to film candy being handed out in East Jerusalem and the Palestinian newspaper "Jerusalem Times" reports that the candy shop owner was paid for the candy by the IDF.
