Small Bits of Irony
- CSO Magazine’s Security Feed juxtaposes two stories, “Stolen Data Worries Financial Institutions” and “EU Ministers Promise Data Retention Agreement.”
- The Privacy Law has an article on fingerprinting at Disney. His blog won’t allow anonymous comments, so I’ll say read “Fingerprint Privacy.” (I’m with Nancy Kerrigan, anyway.)
- Chris Hoofnagle has a story about a new database at DoD, but fails to milk the story for all its worth. I mean, home phone numbers? Doctors’ approvals? Read “DoD Creates Lactation Database, Okays Data for Law Enforcement, Counterintel Use.”
- The “Minuteman Project” is having trouble recruiting folks who ain’t white!
The percentage of non-whites in the pro immigration law enforcement movement appears to be only about 10%. I want to encourage more non-whites to join our ranks and at the same time resolve once and for all that the pro immigration law enforcement movement is not about “a bunch of brawny white guys”. We have plenty of women in our groups, but we are still a bit lacking in non-white participation.

- The TSA, feeling insufficiently mocked, wasted at least 30 minutes of the life of Steven D. Levitt’s life when they found pictures of terrorists in his luggage. He reports in “I almost got sent to Guantanamo.”
Adam,
I believe I have fixed my site to allow for anonymous comments.
Thanks!
