Anti-Hacking White Papers

Homeland Insecurity

Overview Since September 11, the government has been calling for a new security infrastructure - one that employs advanced technology to protect the citizenry and track down malefactors. Pending legislations demands that the Attorney General employ "technology including but not limited to, electronic fingerprinting, face recognition, and retinal scan technology." The proposed Department of Homeland Security is intended to oversee a "national research and development enterprise for homeland security comparable for more than fifty years" - domestic version of the high-tech R&D juggernaut that produced stealth bombers, smart weapons, and anti-missile defense.
