Comrades, MiniHomSec has doubleplusgood news. From the capitalist running dogs at Forbes.com:
Newly uncovered documents show that as early as 2006, the Department of Homeland Security has been planning pilot programs to deploy mobile scanning units that can be set up at public events and in train stations, along with mobile x-ray vans capable of scanning pedestrians on city streets.The non-profit Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) on Wednesday published documents it obtained from the Department of Homeland Security showing that from 2006 to 2008 the agency planned a study of of new anti-terrorism technologies that EPIC believes raise serious privacy concerns. The projects range from what the DHS describes as “a walk through x-ray screening system that could be deployed at entrances to special events or other points of interest” to “covert inspection of moving subjects” employing the same backscatter imaging technology currently used in American airports.
These documents include a "Technology Transfer Agreement" dated June 18, 2008, between the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate and the Transportation Security Administration related to "Devises for the Counter-Improvised Explosive Device Program."
