Perhaps the new airport body scanners are a bit too revealing.
A TSA worker in Miami was arrested for aggravated battery after police say he attacked a colleague who'd made fun of his small genitalia after he walked through one of the new high-tech security scanners during a recent training session.
Rolando Negrin, 44, was busted for assault after things got ugly at Miami International Airport between Negrin and some of his fellow Transportation Security Administration workers on Tuesday. Sources say Negrin stepped into the machine during the training session and became embarrassed and angry when a supervisor started cracking jokes about his manhood, made visible by the new machine.

You have to see it to believe exactly how Orwellian this is! Does it discourage prosperity? Yes. It makes me not want to own anything or have any property mortgaged due to government entitlements. Whatever, Government.

TX Fusion Debate described as "raucous" by CIR reporter
Austin is at it again. Oh, those riley-wiley Texans. Ne'er a dull moment.
It’s not every day that Elevated Risk gets to report on a local story. But yours truly works from Austin, Texas, and on May 3 the city’s Public Safety Commission here in the heart of the Lone Star State held a meeting on the area's police intelligence fusion center. The event at Austin’s City Hall became a microcosm of what we’ve seen nationally: protests that the centers haven’t developed strong enough policies to protect civil liberties and privacy rights.:::MORE HERE:::

NO2ID: Summary Care Records 'Release 2' details revealed
OPT OUT NOW UK!!
Documents obtained by Hampshire GP, Dr Neil Bhatia under the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act reveal plans for Release 2 information (non GP information) to be uploaded to NHS computerised Summary Care Records(SCR). When you attend a hospital, specialist clinic or out-of-hours
surgery or clinic, details of your attendance can be uploaded to your Summary Care Record.
This is termed "SCR Release 2 information", and will be uploaded in addition to your GP Summary. The FOI documents reveal that it will be possible for non-GP care settings (such as A & E and outpatient departments) to create a record, not just to add to one created in general practice. The uploading of Release 2 information has not yet begun but the documents raise serious concerns about the levels of consent that are planned for uploading medical records into centralised databases. The best advice is to opt-out now if you don't want any data uploaded to your SCR. Do not wait until the SCR goes live in your area - it might be too late then as you might have Release 2
information about yourself already uploaded.

L-1 Quarterly numbers are in for porkometrics
"We believe the groundwork established by our divisions in the first quarter, and the investment made in our driver's license business throughout '09 and '10, has positioned us well to capitalize on significant opportunities in the second half of the year," said Robert V. LaPenta, Chairman, President and CEO of L-1 Identity Solutions. "We believe our facial and iris recognition solutions give us a competitive advantage on domestic and international identity programs. Our Intelligence services are well positioned particularly in light of recent terrorist incidents and we have experienced significant growth on a number of Homeland Security-related programs which will be realized as the year progresses. We are expanding our enrollment capabilities into new markets and the division is capitalizing on international opportunities."
