“Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.” Benjamin Franklin
WELCOME TO “HOPE AND CHANGE!”
NOTHING IS SACRED. THE CONSTITUTION IS NO MORE THAN AN OLD SHEET OF PAPER THE GOVERNMENT KEEPS IN SPECIAL GLASS WITH SPECIAL LIGHTING TO PRESERVE IT AS HISTORICAL.
IT CERTAINLY HAS NO BEARING ON HOW WE ARE GOVERNED TODAY!
Gizmodo Reports: Scary. Insane. Ridiculous. Invasive. Wrong. The Washington Post reports that the FBI has had the ability to secretly activate a computer’s camera “without triggering the light that lets users know it is recording” for years now. What in the hell is going on? What kind of world do we live in?
Marcus Thomas, the former assistant director of the FBI’s Operational Technology Division, told the Post that that sort of creepy spy laptop recording is “mainly” used in terrorism cases or the “most serious” of criminal investigations. That doesn’t really make it less crazy (or any better) since the very idea of the FBI being able to watch you through your computer is absolutely disturbing.
The whole Post piece about the FBI’s search for a bomb threat suspect is worth reading. It shows how far the FBI will go with its use of malware to spy on people and reveals the occasional brain dead mistakes the FBI makes to screw themselves over (like a typo of an e-mail address that the FBI wanted to keep tabs on). Good to know these completely competent folks are watching over us by any means necessary. [Washington Post]
