GPS shoes

[Lloyd Danforth]

In the meantime with cooperation from others, tracking devises like cell phones, GPS support hose, and that system in GM cars that might save your life or might stop your car for the cops can be used for miss-direction. Swapping.
Bob Stadler from Keene is up in Berlin Using Dean Moriarity's cell phone and Buick while Dean is down in Keene appearing to trackers as driving around Berlin.

All I could decipher out of that post was that Lloyd wears panty hose.

My five-year study, exploration, and ultimately debunking of your cult is coming to an end.  I've produced a lot of good literature in the processes, and that is something no one can ever take away.

I'm sure it will be a fine work of literature, some where between Erma Bombeck and Andy Rooney.

yea we will have to buy shoes with cash or buy them for each other and have them scrambling

[Alex Libman]

First of all, there is no "them".  The shoes are bought by parents and guardians for their dependents.  Do you honestly think your mommy will be fooled if you trade shoes with Jimmy while you play hookey from school? 

When combined with grids of video cameras and AI-driven facial recognition, trading shoes would only result in two people getting in trouble instead of one.

And ideally it will be not shoes but implants, which will also transmit medical data and would definitely detect any attempts to surgically remove them.

We cannot have freedom through obscurity - we must be honest and transparent, and defend our Rights.  Dependents, however, do have an obligation to obey the authority of their parents / guardians.

Open and honest sounds good to me.

I worked for months on this topic and wrote thousands of pages, then Ian deleted it.

Your statement appears to have nothing to do with what you've quoted.

I know you're not being serious, but I'll address what you've said anyway.  After a long, twilight struggle, I was able to obtain backups, and I've maintained full external scrapes of all forums I care about (including this one) ever since.  Nothing is really lost - except Ian Fraudman's soul.

Also, "thousands of pages" is probably a bad estimate.  Did you use an alias that appears on the top-50 list?  The most prolific posters on the FTL BBS (Lindsey, Brasky, and myself) only wrote around 10MB of text each by the time of the libricide.  In my case that was 3,374 pages, or about 1.687 million words, or about 2.6155 Atlas Shruggeds - but some of that was quotes.  Of course I pride myself on quality, not quantity...

Not to mention your ability to quickly pick up sarcasm and focus like a laser on the point actually being made.

I have no idea what you are talking about so...

Why did he delete them?

[dalebert]

Why did he delete them?

I think he's poking fun at Alex. Ask Alex the history. You will be amused.

KBCraig wants to derail this thread, I don't, but I must respond to his belittlement of the tragedy, the final blow that has pretty much ended my life.

FSP's core institutions being hijacked by idiots who bullied me out of New Hampshire is not an amusing matter for me.  FSP was my life.  I see no future for myself without it.


That said, can we please get back to the discussion of how GPS and other tracking / security technologies are not in of themselves evil?

[littlehawk]

OH. K.

I think using GPS on Nancy Sinatra's boots would have stopped the Womens Lib Movememt.

I had my concerns with what motivated Ian to send stuff down the memory hole. But your hyperbole/suicide made people make fun of you, instead of dealing with the issue.

As to GPS technology...
I think it is an issue of technologic improvements that in fact give "super human" abilities to the authorities. I assume the intent of the constitutional restrictions the founding fathers put in the 4th amendment was to prevent an overreaching government encroachment into our lives.

Someone saying "Hey I saw Alex drive by." is a lot different than the authorities putting a tracking device surreptitiously into your vehicle and from their desk following your every move.

The courts have already ruled that thermal imaging in the case of pot growing needs a warrant.

Just as curtilage means that them flying a helicopter and spying inside you fenced backyard would be considered an unlawful search.

The result of them not restricting, unwarranted, GPS tracking of people would be them one day having a handle on every vehicle on the road.
