London, Feb 6 (IANS) Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan isn’t intimidated by the full body-scan machines that have been recently installed at London’s airports – in fact, he’s been signing off printouts of his X-rays.
Khan, appearing on ‘Friday Night With Jonathan Ross’ – one of British television’s most popular weekend shows – revealed he’s been turning the controversial security machines into a public relations opportunity at London’s Heathrow airport.
‘I’m always stopped by the security, because of the name. And I think its okay: the western world is a little bit worried, paranoid and touchy, I guess – and feely when they’re frisking you,’ Khan told his celebrity chat show host moments after explaining how his new film is about a Muslim named Khan on a mission to tell the US president he is not a terrorist.
‘I was in London recently going through the airport and these new machines have come up, the body scans. You’ve got to see them. It makes you embarrassed – if you’re not well endowed.
‘You walk into the machine and everything – the whole outline of your body – comes out.’
Khan said he did not know that the body-scans – installed in the wake of last year’s abortive Christmas Day bombing of a transatlantic flight over Detroit – showed up every little detail of one’s body.
‘I was a little scared. Something happens [inside the scans], and I came out.
‘Then I saw these girls – they had these printouts. I looked at them. I thought they were some forms you had to fill. I said ‘give them to me’ – and you could see everything inside. So I autographed them for them.’

Gary D. Fielder is a constitutional and criminal lawyer of 20 years. Mr. Fielder has conducted over 350 jury trials, appeared in Federal District Court, and argued before the Colorado Court of Appeals and Supreme Court. After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, Mr. Fielder earned his Juris Doctorate at the University of San Diego in 1990. Mr. Fielder grew up in Eagle River, Alaska, and now lives in Denver.
Gary was mandated by the court to represent his client in the courthouse but he refused to be scanned by a body scanner under constitutional grounds that since he was not leaving the city and traveling between jurisdictions and since he had not violated any laws he had a right to not be scanned. The court deputies were surprised to see any dissident reaction since most people mindlessly follow orders and assume that is is legal. It isn’t. It was not approved by the people and Mr. Fielder demanded that they allow him to enter the courthouse.
He was told by deputies that he had a “choice” not to be scanned and could leave but the truth of the matter is he didn’t have a choice, it was mandatory to be scanned in order to enter the courthouse.

This year’s event will be focused on identifying opportunities for multi-modal biometric technologies, examining newly-developed biometrics systems, developing standards requirements, and discussing programs such as HSPD-24.
IDGA’s 3rd Annual Biometrics for National Security and Defense will be held March 15 – 17, 2010 in the Washington DC, Metro Area.

UPDATE: State DMV Database Used for Marketing, Private Data Accessed, Suit Says
By The Associated Press - 1/20/2010 8:52:41 AM
TEXARKANA – A federal lawsuit filed in the Texarkana Division of the Western District of Arkansas claims the Arkansas Department of Motor Vehicle database has been illegally used for marketing and it could affect anyone who has had an Arkansas driver’s license since 2000.
“Plaintiffs and the members of the class have suffered harm as their private information has been obtained unlawfully,” the Jan. 14 complaint states.
“In addition to violation of this legally protected right, plaintiffs and members of the class have suffered harm by virtue of increased risks to them associated with having their protected data in the possession of numerous
individuals.”http://www.arkansasbusiness.com/printable.aspx?aid=119520

Mr. Armes I hate to be so forceful with my words, but quite frankly Sir HB 3209 pisses me off!
One more thing Mr. Armes, I would like you to know that I and many others in SW Oklahoma are praying for all of our legislators, to vote on your God given principles for the good of the people of Oklahoma!

This odd story today reminded me of the many references to a program with OK law enforcement called STAR.(see below) It is like an exchange program between Oklahoma police and Germany where they show each other how law enforcement works in their respective countries. As I recall the program was quite an intensive exchange with German officers staying an extended amount of time in Oklahoma. It also reminded me of the Memorandum of Understanding (an informal written agreement) uncovered last session when investigating our Fusion Center, between DPS and Germany pertaining to Driver’s Licenses. (see below)
Red Dirt Reporter:
Cop impersonator from Germany arrested in OKC, charged with two felonies
By // Andrew W. Griffin – February 2, 2010
OKLAHOMA CITY – A German national is currently in the Oklahoma County Jail held on two state felony counts after allegedly fooling an Oklahoma City Police Department captain into believing he was a member of the German federal police.
According to Oklahoma City P.D. Capt. Patrick Stewart, Maziar Golchehr, 27, of Cologne, Germany was arrested on Jan. 27 on felony charges, including possession of a sawed-off rifle and a charge of wearing body armor in the commission of a felony.
The impersonator, according to Stewart, came to Oklahoma City in March 2009 and befriended a captain on the Oklahoma City Police Department .
“He said he was an ex-German police officer and a current federal law officer back in Germany and was here on a visa,” Stewart told Red Dirt Report. “He came to the States seeking employment and the captain agreed to let him stay at his residence.”

Contact: State Rep. Paul Wesselhöft
Capitol: (405) 557-7343
OKLAHOMA CITY –State Rep. Paul Wesselhöft said he has filed an “anti big brother, big government” bill.
House Bill 2569, by Wesselhöft, protects Oklahomans’ driver’s licenses from government intrusion by preemptively disallowing state and local governments from tracking a person’s location or obtaining personal information from an individual’s driver’s license.
“Through technology, governments, corporate and private entities can track a person’s location and personal information if one’s driver’s license is embedded with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip or special ink,” said Wesselhöft, R-Moore. “They can be tracked by satellites, radio towers and even through doors in buildings as ones walks through them.”
The Moore Republican said currently two states have passed such laws, and the U.S. Congress is considering S. 1261, the PASS ID act, which would “federalize” and make state driver’s licenses into a national ID card.
The Pass ID Act (S. 1261) also contains a provision for an “enhanced driver’s license,” which means, according to Wessselhöft, a radio-frequency identification (RFID)-embedded driver’s license.
If Congress’ bill becomes law, Oklahoma could be legally exempted by Wesselhöft’s bill.
“The legal issue would then be determined by the courts,” said Wesselhöft. “If the congressional bill is made into law, it would violate the 4th Amendment of the Constitution which states—’the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated’.”
Wesselhöft believes a strong argument can be made that one’s driver’s license is a person’s “papers, and effects.” He also believes obtaining locations and information from one’s driver’s license constitutes an “unreasonable” search.
”If one breaks the law while driving, police can pull over and demand a person’s driver’s license, fair enough,” said Wesselhöft. “However, if one is not breaking the law, one’s location and personal driver’s license information is not the government’s business nor any other entities’ business, period! This would be big brother at its worse.”
”It is a state law that people cannot be embedded with a microchip or permanent mark,” added Wesselhöft.
Wesselhöft said his “preemptive” bill extends the state law to include a person’s driver’s license.
