Numerous articles were written in 1984 boasting about how the world had escaped 
Orwell's dire predictions of governmental surveillance and the elimination of

the recording industry's lawsuit against over 200 alleged file-swappers, and

alarming rate, and the Anti-Phishing Working Group says there were 1,125

The emergence of services offering anonymity to Web site operators has sparked 
a dramatic rise in the number of sites with nameless owners, which in turn is 
generating concerns about criminal activity, stimulating discussions about 
online privacy, and even making an impact on political races. For a fee, some

Radio frequency identification (RFID) tagging technology, which enables the 
identification of an object, person, or place without a direct line-of-sight 
via an electromagnetic challenge/response interchange, has a "magical" quality 
because its operations are largely automatic and invisible. An RFID scheme 
utilizes readers that emit interrogation signals; these signals power tags 
affixed to an object, and cause the tags to beam back a unique digital ID. The 
technology currently faces a number of unresolved technical issues before it

The Homeland Security Department is creating a new office to handle terrorist

Companies that sell personal data such as ChoicePoint have successfully fought 
regulation of their industry for many years, using a combination of lobbying 
and industry-funded research groups. House and Senate disclosure forms show 
seven of the country's largest data sellers spent at least $2.4 million last 
year to lobby Congress and federal officials. In addition, those firms have

The sorry state of IT in the health care industry is reflected in the scores of 
hospitals and offices that lack electronic medical records--and more 
importantly, the glaring absence of interoperability between computer systems. 
Health care IT expert David Bates with Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston 
says just about 2 percent of the health care industry's revenues are invested 
in IT, while other information-intensive industries commit 10 percent of their

The federal government aims to transition most patients to electronic medical

effectiveness of the U.S. health care system. Electronic medical records within 
a decade is the goal of a federal plan President Bush introduced last year; the

service for patients by eliminating the need to fill out health history forms.

Sampling finds federal data mining fails to assure privacy protections
Tuesday, August 30, 2005
By Michael J. Sniffen, The Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- None of five federal agencies using electronic data mining to 
track terrorists, catch criminals or prevent fraud complied with all rules for 
gathering citizen information. As a result, they cannot ensure that individual 
privacy rights are appropriately protected, congressional investigators said

The global deployment of electronic passports that use contactless smart card 
technology to carry biometric identifiers has provoked concern about security, 
interoperability, and cost. The ACLU pointed out e-passports' vulnerability to 
data skimming, which prompted the U.S. government to re-assess its position on 
basic access control that would require a passport's data page to be opened and 
scanned before the contactless chip can be read, thus creating a unique 
cryptographic key that prevents the reading of a traveler's passport without

Biometrics technologies are soon expected to become the primary form of 
personal identification, but this revolutionary development carries risks as 
well as rewards. For example, fingerprint scanners can eliminate PC users' need 
to memorize passwords and enable people without social security numbers to bank 
safely, but they can be fooled by duplicated or "spoofed" fingerprints and may 
not record a clear print from fingers that are dirty, bruised, cut, callused, 
or sweaty. Even more problematic is comparing prints to existing scans to
