Inform Cycle’s actual site was at informcycle.ca. A month prior, a disgruntled former employee of Inform Cycle [...]

Lets shock and immobilize air passengers

From the “you’ve got to be kidding department” is a post on the Canadian Privacy Commissioner’s site that says US Homeland Security is interested in a bracelet that air passengers would wear that contains their boarding pass and identity info, tracks them, and can administer a remotely triggered shock to immobilize the passenger.     Why don’t we [...]
