As the world moves toward smart phones loaded with features, the unintended consequences are starting to surface. The fury developing over Apples un-encryped tracking logs showing everywhere you have been, is finally starting to gain national attention.

You may wonder, how much is really tracked? EVERYTHING. Here is my map of where Apple has tracked me.

Texas takes aim at getting rid of naked scanners

Philip — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 05:46:37 +0000

I’m filing this one under the “Don’t Mess with Texas” category!

Kudos to Rep. David Simpson (R-Longview) for filing HB 1938, with the goal of making it a civil penalty for anyone working in a locally owned airport to install or operate whole-body imaging equipment — “including a device that uses backscatter x-rays or millimeter waves, that creates a visual image of a person’s unclothed body and is intended to detect concealed objects,”

Texas joins 2 additional states (New Hampshire & New Jersey) in opposing the use of “naked scanners” on the residents of their state

TSA is out of control: TSA pat-down leaves bladder cancer survivor covered in urine

TSA Naked X-Ray scans violate the 4th amendment

Something has to be done about the TSA goons and their attack on our freedoms. The terrorists truly have won when our government lives in such fear.

A retired special education teacher on his way to a wedding in Orlando, Fla., said he was left humiliated, crying and covered with his own urine after an enhanced pat-down by TSA officers recently at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
“I was absolutely humiliated, I couldn’t even speak,” said Thomas D. “Tom” Sawyer, 61, of Lansing, Mich.
Sawyer is a bladder cancer survivor who now wears a urostomy bag, which collects his urine from a stoma, or opening in his stomach. “I have to wear special clothes and in order to mount the bag I have to seal a wafer to my stomach and then attach the bag. If the seal is broken, urine can leak all over my body and clothes.”
On Nov. 7, Sawyer said he went through the security scanner at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. “Evidently the scanner picked up on my urostomy bag, because I was chosen for a pat-down procedure.”
Due to his medical condition, Sawyer asked to be screened in private. “One officer looked at another, rolled his eyes and said that they really didn’t have any place to take me,” said Sawyer. “After I said again that I’d like privacy, they took me to an office.”

TSA pats down screaming 3 year old girl. Suggests playing touching game.

Philip — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 21:33:16 +0000

We teach our children to never allow anyone to touch them in inappropriate ways or in private areas and the TSA comes along and starts patting down children in the areas that they have been taught to protect! In this video the TSA rep said they agents should try to turn the pat down into a game with the kids.. Let me get this straight.. Create a game where it’s ok to let an adult stranger touch you in your privates? These people should be arrested for sexual assault! No means NO, expect for when you say it to the TSA.

Article: Airports consider congressman’s call to ditch TSA

Philip — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 12:58:50 +0000

The invasive search techniques that the TSA has recently implement are FORTUNATELY causing a backlash against the bloated Federal department.

ATLANTA (AP) — In a climate of Internet campaigns to shun airport pat-downs and veteran pilots suing over their treatment by government screeners, some airports are considering another way to show dissatisfaction: Ditching TSA agents altogether.
Federal law allows airports to opt for screeners from the private sector instead. The push is being led by a powerful Florida congressman who’s a longtime critic of the Transportation Security Administration and counts among his campaign contributors some of the companies who might take the TSA’s place.

CNN Just posted their results to a recent poll and their results were very interesting!

Fifty-six percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday say they think the federal government’s become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens. Forty-four percent of those polled disagree.

Ensign receives handwritten confirmation
This doesn’t happen often enough.

Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) received a handwritten note Thursday from Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staff Tom Barthold confirming the penalty for failing to pay the up to $1,900 fee for not buying health insurance.

Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty, Barthold wrote on JCT letterhead. He signed it “Sincerely, Thomas A. Barthold.”

The note was a follow-up to Ensign’s questioning at the markup.
