Can’t wait to decompile their Android apk tomorrow. I’m curious how FBI codes Android.
I would be interested to see if you have any intriguing findings!
I just hope my house won’t get raided before I publish my findings.

As someone who wants to enter and profit from the burgeoning underground iris transplantation economy, where do I start? I get the sense that there is an arbitrage opportunity between the cost of eye surgery and crypto returns but exactly how do I capitalize on this?

A small chance is better than no chance. I was answering to the privacy concern, not the effectiveness of the method. It seems like a plausible business model to professionally collect hold biometric data encrypted with the owner's keys, opaque to the party storing the data. It's a bit like the businesses that store umbilical cord stem cells for the very unlikely chance they'll be useful at some point in the future.
Got it. I had thought you were responding to the part you quoted.
That's a very good point. Sorry for the confusion.

The first FBI director had Washington by the balls for forty years. Nixon didn't fire him because he expected him to retaliate with blackmail, neither did Truman or Kennedy. The FBI is working as intended.
When one learns about who controlled him and how they are on the road to real understanding of the FBI in history. (Hint: Trumps former mentor was involved!) Unfortunately, in my analysis of the various 3-letters, they are so compartmentalized that the top-down corruption is not seen by the generally good intentioned middle and lower men. So the bureaucratic momentum keeps the agencies preserved when in reality they…
Ironically this could well be a brilliant counter intelligence post pretending to be as stupid as it sounds.
What better way to make sure the FBI keeps removing people's freedom than by making it a partisan issue?
Trump, born in 1943, was responsible for Hoovers cache of compromat. A word that entered the Russian lexicon because the KGB was so impressed by what he was doing in Washington in the 1930s.

My point was to only release the information to the police if and when the kid needs to be located.
release what valuable information here? What information is being "released" that is going to be helpful in a way that if it wasn't for the FBI App, you would be regretting it?
My suggestion was to have the information with you, and release it to the police if and when privacy concerns are not as relevant in comparison.

Merely mentioning Trump doesnt make the post partisan at all. On the contrary, I think its obvious compromise operations target everyone, in both parties (and business, etc) So Im not sure what you are getting at. Seems like you are strawmanning (things I didnt say) unless Im misunderstanding your point.

Happened to me as well. Now the FBI has my fingerprints on file even though I've never committed a crime. I had a discussion with my Mom a couple years about this and she admitted she screwed up. I can't blame her of course. Especially since at the time there was plenty of FBI propoganda about missing kids terrifying parents and claiming this was a solution.
In the U.S. we used to collect palm/foot prints on every child within a few days of birth. Newborn fingerprints are difficult to collect, as skin is very delicate. Now we require DNA collection at birth. https://www.aclu.org/other/newborn-dna-banking With my youngest I found a clever way to "opt-out". Unfortunately at my child's 6 month pediatric appointment at a private clinic, the nurse charged in and demanded a sa…
This is bizarre and should not be legal. There is definitely not any public awareness of this practice.
Increasingly people are aware of the very real implications of allowing the government and insurance agencies to have your data. Your genes are your data
Re: FBI Child ID App
#178The words FBI and Child so close together make me a bit squeamish.
Re: FBI Child ID App
#179What's the point in this app? Surely most mothers/fathers have pictures of their kids on their phone these days anyway
The same reason the government produces actually half decent financial literacy courses aimed from kids to adults. The same reason the CDC has instructions on how to brush your teeth. The same reason why the FDA will literally give you cooking tips for peas.
There is some class of people out there who don't understand or aren't capable and the government is acting as a gap filler.
Re: FBI Child ID App
#180Low grade corruption ...and here's why: The FBI is understaffed, misdirected & underfunded for its real mission, which I would argue must be fighting public corruption, organized crime and counter-espionage. Any objective analysis would conclude the Bureau has been politicized and its resources have been directed at operations, investigations and training that does not fulfill its core mission. The bad PR and mistrus…
The FBI and other 3 letter agencies have been vacuuming up every communication between us, warrantless, for so many years it’s crazy. That unconstitutional overreach has been used to do what exactly? No I really want to know. It’s not keeping us safe, because someone who is basically a cartoon caricature of a school shooter can scare everyone they come in contact with, get a long gun and ammo, and execute a mass shoo…

Unpopular opinion, but you know the old saying: No one hears about the times the FBI, CIA, etc has stopped a terrorist act, you only hear about the disasters that eventually played out.
For every one sick person that went on to do something crazy, hundreds have been caught before anything happened.
I don't understand the upset for "warrantless wire-tapping" unless you have something to hide, especially when these days people are begging the government to protect us from extremists/terrorists and not sit on their hands.
