Yesterday was very biometric:
- The date for my seminar with the Surveillance Project at Queens was reset for later this month. I am going to talk about my thesis on the constitutionality of automated biometric surveillance and the recent cases on the liberty right in section 7 of The Charter of Rights and Freedoms;
- The US confirmed that we need to get the new biometric passorts before October. I, too have no problem with this as it is not my country.
- On West Wing the nutty DARPA (not ARPA) character in the Hawaiian shirt admitted to spokesperson lady that they were doing biometric studies within government on the biometrics of citizens. [It was very well described in the script.] And she was shocked at the imposition on the US Bill of Rights.
Neato. Gaff and gaaf. Spelling has yet to settle on that one.
