In June America’s Departments of Justice and Homeland Security
and a grouping of American police chiefs released the “Suspicious
Activity Report—Support and Implementation Project”.
Inspired in part by the approach of the Los Angeles Police
Department, it urges police to question people who, among other
things, use binoculars, count footsteps, take notes, draw diagrams,
change appearance, speak with security staff, and photograph
objects “with no apparent aesthetic value.”
P300 "Brain Fingerprinting": A Very Freaky Future Indeed http://jeffjonas.typepad.com/jeff_jonas/2007/01/p300_brain_fing.html
We may not be far away from the thoughtcrime described in 1984.
“Apparently, your brain creates a very specific electrical brain
response, known as P300, when one is presented with information
that is already contained in one’s mind.
If you recognize the information (i.e., it is familiar to you), you will
have a P300 response. There is no way to avoid this; it is a
biological/electrical stimulus response event. Sort of like a lie
detector, only (reportedly) always accurate.
P300 is already being used in court as admissible evidence by both
defense and prosecuting attorneys.” On March 5, 2001
Pottawattamie County, Iowa District Court Judge Tim O'Grady ruled
that Brain Fingerprinting® testing is admissible in court.
Hsinchun Chen, head of the Artificial Intelligence Lab at the
University of Arizona says “sentiment analysis”, which he performs
for American and international intelligence agencies, is an emerging
and booming field.
The goal is to identify changes in the behaviour and language of
internet users that could indicate that angry young men are becoming
potential suicide-bombers.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a lobby, says the list
maintained by the Terrorist Screening Centre at the FBI now has
more than 900,000 names, with 20,000 more every month.
Abdul Bakier, a former official in Jordan’s General Intelligence
Department, says that tips to foil data-mining systems are discussed
at length on some extremist online forums. Tricks such as calling
phone-sex hotlines can help make a profile less suspicious.

Alan Hyder
“Retailers preparing for a rapid rise in crime due to the credit crunch
