Calif Leads US with Mobile Tracker

Thanks to John Gilmore. http://www.msnbc.com/local/KNBC/14920.asp CHP introduces cellular-friendly 911 system Operators will now be able to capture the telephone number and location of the caller within a half-block area LOS ANGELES, Sept. 17 - The California Highway Patrol this week demonstrated a new countywide 911 system designed to provide operators with the telephone numbers and location of callers using mobile telephones. Los Angeles County is the first in the state to use the new technology, said CHP Sgt. Ernie Sanchez. All local 911 calls for the CHP, whether via mobile phones or "land lines," are routed to the CHP half-a-millionCommunications Center just west of downtown, but mobile phone calls could not be traced until recently, Sanchez said. "It doesnt matter if you live in Pasadena or Arcadia or West Covina; if you call on a cell phone, that call will go through the CHP Communications Center" and operators will be able to capture the telephone number and location of the caller within a half-block area, Sanchez said. The enhanced technology has been in use for the past three weeks, he said. All major mobile phone companies are participating in the test and demonstration of the system, Sanchez said, adding that the technology should be in place nationwide by 2001 under Federal Communications Commission rules.

Re: IP: Tougher laws are sought to seize cash (fwd)
by Stu Green 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Jim, Et al, Recently I heard the retelling of a 'verbal memo' given contracted security folks at Miami International Airport concerning spotting people with 'excessive cash'. Besides the racist profiles and the cues of buying a ticket with cash, destinations were high on the list and Las Vegas was the most often mentioned destination for a 'good collar' (ie. cash confiscation). The feds are offering a reward of a percentage of what is confiscated to the informants, in this case ticket sellers, baggage handlers and local security providers (contractor and local police). Seems that bring more than 4 -5 K worth of green to gamble with is an excuse for confiscation with no charges ever being made. The operative mode here is an assumption that they'll snag some wise guys and they won't freak and try to regain their bucks....bad assumption and bad intentions. This is the kind of citizen vs. citizen activity that the East Germans and their Nazi mentors were master in establishing and effecting. The best way to destroy trust is to a profit incentive to poke your face into your neighbor's garbage can and report the droppings to the collectors of irrelavant information at the ministry of injustice.

Once they realize people are doing this, they will begin taking hashes or some other record of the blank space. The next time you are scanned by customs, they pull the record and compare the previous "blank" space with the current "blank" space. If they don't match, you're suspect. They still cannot prove that you're carrying hidden data. They ask you if you know what stego is. They ask you if you have hidden data on your drive. If you say yes, they demand to see it. If you say no, they say "Okay, then it should be no problem if we push the wipe button on our program, should it?" If they start doing that they have still won, because now you are not carrying the data across the border or the data is destroyed as you cross the border.

It might cost as much as $50, but it is more than worth your while if you are planning on messing with cryptography and cracking like this. Once you have the book, read it and then try to analyze the source code. If you are dealing with and using Windows, you will need a C compiler. Cygnus has a free Win32 C compiler out as I understand it, and Microsoft and Borland both have C compilers out for a few hundred bucks each. If you are dealing with UNIX, there is tons of source and free development utilities out there.
