Constitution? What Constitution?
by Eric Cordian 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:.

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 presentation 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.

UK: Don't smile for passport photos - face scanners limitations
by Bill Stewart 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

This'll probably apply to the UK's new National ID cards if they ever approve them. http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/html/20050906T030000-0500_87710_OBS__DO… 'Don't smile for passport photos' AFP Tuesday, September 06, 2005 LONDON, England (AFP) - Britons are being told not to smile for photographs when applying for new passports to avoid confusing new security scanners introduced at airports worldwide, officials said yesterday. Passport applicants from next week must keep their mouths closed and retain a neutral expression to meet new facial recognition technology being used in airport scanners, they said. The new international requirements were announced in August 2003 as part of a process to enable production of new, more secure biometric "ePassports" with facial recognition technology, the United Kingdom Passport Service said on its website. By 2008 it is hoped that fingerprint identification will also be used in passports. Britain is among the first countries to implement the new requirements, a spokesman at the Home Office (interior ministry) said. There were concerns that Britain would not meet the United States deadline for passport changes, which was brought forward in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks in the United States, the spokesman said. Without the new ePassports, visitors would have to apply for visas, the spokesman said. However, the United States has not been able to keep up with its own deadline, delaying it twice, leaving Britain enough time to implement the new requirements, he added. The security scanners are reported to work by matching key points on the holder's face, such as the mouth and eyes, with the photograph. The new rules, according to one report, say "photographs must show no shadows: your face looking straight at the camera, a neutral expression, with your mouth closed". Eyes must be open and clearly visible, and there must be no sunglasses, tinted glasses or hair across the eyes, it added.
