The War on David Nelson
by Bruce Sterling 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

*Imagine if these wretches had the even more common name "Geert Lovink." Really, one shudders to think -- bruces If your name is David Nelson you can expect to be hassled, delayed, questioned and searched before being allowed to board aircraft anywhere in the United States for the foreseeable future. Since the horrific attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the federal Transportation Security Administration has, without any public announcement, created a two-tiered list of names "to protect our aviation system," says Nico Melendez, the agency spokesman for the West Coast, who is based in Los Angeles. The name David Nelson apparently is on one of those lists. "There is a 'no-fly' list," he says. "That's people who cannot fly, period, " because they've been determined to be or are suspected of being "a threat to civil aviation or to national security." Details about the list are "considered sensitive security information and cannot be released to the public," Nico says, but the Wall Street Journal suggests there are about 300 names on the "no-fly" list. There's another list that Nico calls the "selectees list." Might as well call them "suspectees." This is a much larger list of names, accumulated, Nico says, from information obtained from intelligence agencies and the airlines. These folks may be allowed to fly but only after they're intensely scrutinized by airline, law enforcement and security personnel. People whose names are on the two lists undergo what is not a routine security screening, in which you're asked to remove your shoes or empty your pockets. This week 18 men named David Nelson, all residents of Oregon, confirmed they have been repeatedly delayed at airport counters and security checkpoints in the last year or so. Take the February experience of Dave Nelson of Salem, a lobbyist whose largest client is the Oregon Seed Council. Dave often travels for business, sometimes accompanying the governor on trade missions. "We were on our way to a trade show in Atlanta," Dave says, "trying to use the auto-check-in for baggage. We punched in our information, and the computer wouldn't accept it." Dave and his wife, Leah, stood in line until an agent was available at the Delta counter. "We gave him our info, and he kept punching on his computer for about 10 or 15 minutes. . . . Then he says, 'I have to go in the back room.' He took off, and we stood there another 10 minutes. I asked L1 another clerk to find out where he'd gone." After more waiting, they were told a supervisor was being sought. "Nobody would tell us what was going on," Dave says. "It's been 30 or 35 minutes by now. Finally the guy came out and said, 'You'll have to talk to the cop behind you.' We turned around, and there's a security guy." Dave says the officer told him there was a list of suspicious people, "and you're on the list." Dave was asked for I.D. and turned over his driver's license. "They called downtown and ran a criminal check, and I was clean. Then the counter clerk had to call national Delta and get permission for me to go on the airplane. We were now pretty close to takeoff time." Dave and his wife were issued tickets, but again at the gate Dave was thoroughly frisked, searched and identified. At the airport in Atlanta on the way back, the same thing happened. "The woman punched in my name and said, 'Oh, no, Mr. Nelson . . .' " One after another, local David Nelsons tell the same story: At airports their bags are put through bomb detectors; they are delayed, searched, questioned. David Nelson of Gresham says he was searched and screened three times at the Portland airport, then again at the gates of Dallas and Atlanta airports before arriving in Savannah, Ga., last month. "It's as if they think you've been transformed into a terrorist en route. You'd think one screening was enough, when you haven't left a secure area the entire trip." "What really concerned me," says David Nelson of Northwest Portland, who recently was delayed trying to fly to Juneau, Alaska, to take care of his mother, "was even when they determined I wasn't the one on the list, it's like I had a label on my forehead that says, 'One must frisk this person at every opportunity and go through his luggage.' It's as if I were a pariah. " David had no idea why he was being singled out; no one mentioned a list. "My son is a pilot for Continental; I thought maybe that had something to do with it." Oregon state Sen. David Nelson, from Pendleton, also had no idea why he was being delayed at airports. "Then we flew into the Medford airport on Horizon, and one of the agents said, 'Your name is on the list. You're going to be checked every place you go.' That was a shock." As David Nelsons all over the country have learned, once your name is on the list, there's no way you can get it removed. Every time you go to an airport, you're assumed to be guilty until you can prove yourself innocent. Dave Nelson, the Salem lobbyist, spent a lot of time making phone calls after his trip to Atlanta, trying to learn how he could avoid the security hassles. "I thought I'd seen something on the news that you could get a pre-clearance, a photo I.D. We called the Port, and they knew nothing. I called the FBI and went up the ranks, and there's nothing like that. You're just stuck. I said, 'What if I used my full name, or just an initial?' They said, 'None of that would make a difference. You're on the list.' " Somewhere in the world there's an actual terrorist suspect named David Nelson who started all this mess. Several David Nelsons have been told by security or airline personnel that he's from Nashville. But they're looking for him everywhere. Portland radiologist David Nelson "never could figure out why I was constantly getting flagged. Our bags would always come back with tape around them, saying they had been searched." His son and namesake, David Wesley Nelson, who's 27, thought he was always stopped "because of my age." When he flew to Los Angeles recently, "they gave me a big hassle because I didn't have a passport. I said, 'I don't normally carry a passport when traveling within the U.S.' " Every single David Nelson interviewed understood the need for greater security in a post Sept. 11 world. They realize there are trade-offs between liberty and security. But in today's world of high-tech wizardry, it's hard to believe the Transportation Security Administration can't come up with a computer software program that would create a "free-to-fly" list of people whose I.D. has been checked and whose innocence already has been verified. The problem is not the "no-fly" list or the "selectees" list. The problem is, once you're on the lists, you can't get off. It's one thing to know you have to get to the airport three or four hours before every flight; the David Nelsons might accept that as a sign of the times. But how would you feel, knowing your name was on a government terrorist watch list? Linda Nelson of Tigard says her husband, David Nelson, has been hassled in airports. "You're treated as a second-class citizen in your own country," she says. David Nelson is a common name. "My dentist has a couple of them in his practice," says David Nelson of Aloha, "and my boss is actually named David Nelson. He's had the same thing happen to him." Nico Melendez of the Transportation Security Administration will not confirm that the name David Nelson is on the "no-fly" or "selectees" list. But he does say that people who want to see if their name is on either list or who want to make a complaint, can call the agency's contact center at 866-289-9673 or send an e-mail to TellTSA(a)tsa.dot.gov. But if your name is David Nelson, chances are you won't breeze through any airports in the near future. Even if you're a celebrity. Remember Ozzie and Harriet's son, David Nelson? "I got stopped at the John Wayne Airport" in Orange County, Calif., he said by phone from Los Angeles this week. "Two police officers knew who I was and tried to explain to the guy behind the security desk. It didn't faze him at all." Even as another officer was saying he had once met David's mother, Harriet, David was being instructed to remove his shoes, he says. "I asked, 'Does the guy on the list have a middle name of Ozzie?' He said, 'It just says David Nelson.' " http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/margie_boule/index.ssf?/base/livin…

Congress on verge of approving warrantless secret searches [Free Republic]
by Virginia Raines 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

["Pretended legislation" -- courtesy of Orrin Hatch.] "all should recognize that this is an act of "pretended legislation", void and without force from the day Xlinton signs it. For now, the only thing we can do is add it to the list of crimes that will appear in the Second Declaration of Independence (the phrase, "acts of pretended legislation" comes from the First Declaration and means laws passed without authority to do so). "15 Posted on 10/07/2000 05:50:04 PDT by Jim Noble" "The bill in question comes from Senators Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah). It is S. 2516, "The Fugitive Apprehension Act." The bill allows the government to obtain any kind of document it wants, without first getting a search warrant or a subpoena from a court." "Should S. 2516 become law, it would set a precedent for warrantless, secret searches on other subjects-including firearms laws. This is one reason why Barr, one of the staunchest Second Amendment defenders in Congress, is opposing the bill. "There is also a possibility that S. 2516 may be snuck through as an amendment to HR 3048, "The Presidential Protection Act of 2000." Of course S. 2516 has nothing to do with Presidential Protection. Instead, the bill is about constitutional destruction." http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a39dede1511bd.htm --- end forwarded text -- ----------------- R. A. Hettinga <mailto: rah(a)ibuc.com> The Internet Bearer Underwriting Corporation <http://www.ibuc.com/> 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, MA 02131 USA "... however it may deserve respect for its usefulness and antiquity, [predicting the end of the world] has not been found agreeable to experience." -- Edward Gibbon, 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire'

Comments on Site #134: http://www.LenSeiderInc.com Len Seider Lenseider(a)cs.com ~~~~ Hello Len - I reviewed your site. First I clicked to skip the flash intro. I was glad you had that option on your page as I hate waiting for those to download. Your site is easy to navigate, and all the pages relate with the blue background, planets at the top, and the use of frames. The light blue text on the dark blue background can be tricky to read though. Also, even with your philosophy written out, I could not grasp what the purpose of your site was. I never was quite sure what you were trying to accomplish. By adding explanations on the 'Our Team' and 'Site Index' page, maybe an introduction on the 'Home' page, I and I would think your other visitors would be better able to tell how you can help them. It sounds like you know what you are talking about, but I would take a guess your audience doesn't. ~~~~ First impression: Duuhhh. The flash part never went into operation although I went to get some water, messed with the dogs, still no action. Something needs fixn'. I bypassed that portion then and the next page looks very pleasing, but that is if you like to just relax. If you want to get your visitors attention, there has to be more to catch the interest.. Unfortunately today's visitor does not take the time to squint at pale text on a dark background no matter how relaxing it might feel. The page gives a certain IMAGE of refinement and that is possibly what you like to convey, but will it sell anything unless your cliental is already sold? Just my thoughts on the matter. ~~~~ This was a fast loading site with minimal graphics (apart from the Our Team page which I was disappointed to find were just animations and not photos of the team!) and I liked the option to view without the Flash. The Inclick graphic is missing on all the pages and just needs to be uploaded. Although I read through the info quite carefully, I'm still puzzled as to what this website sells! The home page tells us that the website purpose is to communicate but I'm sorry it failed to communicate to me just what services were provided. ~~~~ I assume Len Seider is an individual, so was disappointed there wasn't information about him, his background, a picture, or why I should trust him. I don't care for the use of frames, and I don't think they were necessary for this site as there were only 4 pages, but the layout was organized well and carried through the whole site. ~~~~ First off, the blue on blue words are very hard on the eyes. The home page sounds more like philosophy than a discription of what your services are. What exactly do you do? Do you focus on increasing a company's market share? Are you strictly a marketing company? Are you a consulting firm? All of the above? The "our team" page took forever to load (56k). Does every pic need to be animated? What is your purpose for this page? Do you offer every service in the animations, or do you improve on existing services a company has in place? Why do you have a site index page for a 4 page (one of them being the index page itself) web site? It's just a couple of links anyway... not an index of pages in your site. Visiting this site left me so confused that the only way to find out about your services is to use the contact us page. Maybe this is some clever trick that pulls tons of calls, but it just made me close the browser window. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________________________________ moderator: Amy Mossel: Moderator(a)AEOpublishing.com posting: MyInput(a)AEOpublishing.com ______________________________________________________ Send posts and questions (or your answers) to: mailto:MyInput@AEOpublishing.com Please send suggestions and comments to: mailto:Moderator@AEOpublishing.com To change your subscribed address, send both new and old address to mailto:Moderator@AEOpublishing.com See below for unsubscribe instructions.

Comments on Site #134:  <a href="http://www.LenSeiderInc.com">http://www.LenSeiderInc.com</a> Len Seider Lenseider(a)cs.com ~~~~ Hello Len - I reviewed your site. First I clicked to skip the flash intro. I was glad you had that option on your page as I hate waiting for those to download. Your site is easy to navigate, and all the pages relate with the blue background, planets at the top, and the use of frames. The light blue text on the dark blue background can be tricky to read though. Also, even with your philosophy written out, I could not grasp what the purpose of your site was. I never was quite sure what you were trying to accomplish.  By adding explanations on the 'Our Team' and 'Site Index' page, maybe an introduction on the 'Home' page, I and I would think your other visitors would be better able to tell how you can help them. It sounds like you know what you are talking about, but I would take a guess your audience doesn't. ~~~~ First impression: Duuhhh.  The flash part never went into operation although I went to get some water, messed with the dogs, still no action. Something needs fixn'. I bypassed that portion then and  the next page looks very pleasing, but that is if you like to just relax. If you want to get your visitors attention, there has to be more to catch the interest.. Unfortunately today's visitor does not take the time to squint at pale text on a dark background no matter how relaxing it might feel.  The page gives a certain IMAGE of refinement and that is possibly what you like to convey, but will it sell anything unless your cliental is already sold? Just my thoughts on the matter. ~~~~ This was a fast loading site with minimal graphics (apart from the Our Team page which I was disappointed to find were just animations and not photos of the team!) and I liked the option to view without the Flash.  The Inclick graphic is missing on all the pages and just needs to be uploaded.   Although I read through the info quite carefully, I'm still puzzled as to what this website sells!  The home page tells us that the website purpose is to communicate but I'm sorry it failed to communicate to me just what services were provided. ~~~~ I assume Len Seider is an individual, so was disappointed there wasn't information about him, his background, a picture, or why I should trust him. I don't care for the use of frames, and I don't think they were necessary for this site as there were only 4 pages, but the layout was organized well and carried through the whole site. ~~~~ First off, the blue on blue words are very hard on the eyes.  The home page sounds more like philosophy than a discription of what your services are.  What exactly do you do?  Do you focus on increasing a company's market share? Are you strictly a marketing company?  Are you a consulting firm?  All of the above? The "our team" page took forever to load (56k).  Does every pic need to be animated?  What is your purpose for this page?  Do you offer every service in the animations, or do you improve on existing services a company has in place? Why do you have a site index page for a 4 page (one of them being the index page itself) web site?  It's just a couple of links anyway... not an index of pages in your site.   Visiting this site left me so confused that the only way to find out about your services is to use the contact us page.  Maybe this is some clever trick that pulls tons of calls, but it just made me close the browser window. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________________________________ moderator: Amy Mossel  <a href="mailto:Moderator@AEOpublishing.com">Moderator</a> posting:   <a href="mailto:MyInput@AEOpublishing.com">MyInput(a)AEOpublishing.com</a> ______________________________________________________ Send posts and questions (or your answers) to:    <a href="mailto:MyInput@AEOpublishing.com">MyInput(a)AEOpublishing.com</a> Please send suggestions and comments to:    <a href="mailto:Moderator@AEOpublishing.com">Moderator(a)AEOpublishing.com</a> To change your subscribed address, send both new and old address to <a href="mailto:Moderator@AEOpublishing.com">Moderator(a)AEOpublishing.com</a> See below for unsubscribe instructions.

Are forms possible in a cookie cutter website?
by MDegaston＠aol.com 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

I have a website made with cookie cutters. I would like to add a place where people see little windows where they have to fill in their name, email address and possibly phone and a comment box. How does one create that or is it not possible on a cookie cutter website? Is there a programming text (gif?) I can put in as is done with banners? I am really a rank amateur and know very little so unless it is very very simple to do, I probably can't do it, mind you. Appreciate your help.

Software for pop-ups and anti-virus
by Peter A Steeves 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Do you hate receiving Pop Ups while on-line? Get this Pop Up Killer from http://software.xfx.net/ . Pop Up Killer shoots them dead. It's FREE and I love it. A friend told me about a new FREE Virus killer called Anti Vir. I downloaded it today from http://www.free-av.com/eula.htm Good Lord, it found 3 different viruses on my computer that McAfee, Inoculate, PC-illin and http://housecall.antivirus.com could not find. Anti Vir searched through 111,000 files on my two hard drives. The best of the other 4 only searched through 80,000 files. How could they miss the other 31,000 files?

RE: Schneier: Why Digital Signatures are not Signatures (was Re:CRYPTO-GRAM, November 15, 2000)
by None 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

The Word example actually has other worrying problems not mentioned. A Word document contains a lot of hidden information, including other versions. It would be quite easy to sign a Word document that, when you viewed it, looks significantly different then it could be displayed without violating the signature. This is due to numerous problems, the most basic of which is that we often don't sign what we view but instead some binary that we _believe_ represents what we viewed but often does not. This is not just theoretical nor esoteric, but quite easy as the Word example shows. In effect we have absolutely no idea what we are signing most of the time even without comprimise of keys, programs and all that good stuff. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-cryptography(a)c2.net [mailto:owner-cryptography@c2.net]On > Behalf Of R.

The difference is that a CA _also_ binds the certificate to a legal entity. When the fraud is discovered, the identity of the fraudster is, too.
