Coming to a Neighborhood Near You: Backscatter Vans
Newly-released documents obtained by the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) reveal that the US Depart of Homeland Security has been working on plans to roll out a new wave of mobile surveillance technologies at train stations, stadiums and streets. These new technologies will track your eye movements, capture and record your facial dimensions for face-recognition processing, bathe you in X-rays to look under your clothes, and even image your naked body using whole-body infrared images that were banned from consumer video cameras because they allowed the camera owners to take “nude” videos of people at the beach.
Most importantly, many of these technologies are designed to be completely hidden, allowing the government to implement “covert inspection of moving subjects.” You could be walking down a hallway at a sports stadium, in other words, never knowing that you’re being bathed in X-rays from the Department of Homeland Security, whose operators are covertly looking under your clothes to see if you’re carrying any weapons.
And now… the rest of the story. …..
Gov. X-ray Scanners Will Secretly Search Your Body, Vehicle and Home—Are X-ray Assassinations Next?
U.S. Government/Homeland Security and Police intend to use new long-distance X-ray Scanners to secretly view lawful persons—naked when driving, walking and X-ray Citizens in their homes. There will be nothing to stop a corrupt government agency or police covertly bombarding (persons of interest) with repeated X-ray scans that can cause cancer and other life threatening medical problems, especially targets in poor health. Corrupt members of law enforcement will be free to cause U.S. Citizens and other physical harm, commit x-ray assassinations. How could anyone prove their cancer, was caused by repeated covert X-ray scans? Can you think of one U.S. Government agency you would trust to limit the duration time Government convert scanners are allowed to penetrate a person’s body or private home? The press recently reported that X-ray scanners now used at airports are 10-times greater that what U.S. Government told the American People
Members of law enforcement have been repeatedly exposed and convicted for selling illegal drugs, providing perjured testimony.
Law enforcement agencies have framed countless Citizens for lawfully speaking out against government see (COINTELPRO). It is foreseeable that corrupt government agencies and police will without warrants and supervision, repeatedly expose targeted Citizens to covert X-ray scans to potentially cause cancer and other health problems.
The U.S. can’t become a total Police State until the 4th Amendment is either terminated or so watered down it has no legal effect. That will be the result if government / police are allowed without warrants or probable cause to expose the public to repeated long-distance X-Ray Scans and at airports, train and bus stops and other check points.
