While the FBI remains in the planning stages of its new headquarters construction project, the agency’s new biometrics technology center has been working on projects to build on the breakthrough successes it’s had with fingerprint technology.
By matching clues about a suspect’s physical profile — such as a voice or face — with the power of big data, the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division aims to bring speed and efficiency to law enforcement investigations.
Stephen Morris, FBI assistant director for CJIS, told Federal Drive with Tom Temin that the agency’s new Biometrics Technology Center has been a project nearly a decade in the making.
“What it represents for us is an opportunity to harness all of our biometrics activities within the FBI under one roof,” Morris said. “The backbone, if you will, of that building will be our Next Generation Identification System.”

Your picture is already on file, you can bet your life on it.
ReplyDeleteYour location is almost constantly known and your communications (unless they are written and destroyed) are monitored and recorded -- all of them. You can be searched without a warrant. Your property can (and is, to the tune of six billion dollars LAST YEAR) taken without charges or trial. Citizens are being charged with CRIMES for saying things that are unpopular (read that again).....
The ones who have all this stuff going on are STILL not satisfied. They want more authority. More intrusive powers.
In the name of "security".
I'd like to see them get back to doing things in the name of "freedom".
"We, the people" can handle our own security and if they don't watch it, we'll be handling the "freedom" part, too.
The "next generation identification system" sounds like something Orwell imagined.
Keep cheering....
