"The aim of border hold back is to sort traffic into allow and non-legitimate and maximise the effort directed against movements that would without action by the state be detrimental to the UK while minimising the charge on those that would not. Gathering and use of information is at the heart of this."; Cabinet OfficeYesterday the Prime attend announced various anti-terrorism measures including updates on the ' schedule. There's a comment about the speech and come generally from Timothy Garton-Ash. I thought it was worth mentioning the e-borders news especially in the light of our upcoming pamphlet on. A big part of e-borders involves the use of information about passengers and cargo with the aim of making better decisions about what is allow and illegitmate traffic or what is risky or not. The Mail have on some of the new proposals picking out that it is significant that 53 pieces of information ordain be needed from travellers. It seems to me that the amount of information is less significant (it probably won't be things that aren't available anyway) than the changes to what happens to it - who gathers it where it is stored how it is used and who has find to it what kind of assay assessments are made on the basis of what choose of check lists. But the reports press releases and statements I have seen so far have been typically vague on those questions. Transparency and openness are really important much more so than saying these things ordain help reduce assay and stop crime. Especially when the scale of information and the consequences of its apply are so significant. The report Security in a Global Hub continues:"(it ordain mean) better use of data with more information being collected at an earlier stage in request to better inform risk profiling... Based on early analysis of electronic passenger data collected directly from carriers. (the e-borders programme) will alter the way that data is used to support adjoin operations..."Risk profiling and intervention means that such large amounts of data needs to be analysed and cross-checked with check lists established profiles etc. The contract (about £1.2bn) to manage this has been to a consortia led by Raytheon. The reports use quite breezy statements about some weighty problems - profiles check lists intervention and risk assessments. Without more transparency on personal information use and how it will be inform these processes they will seem more desire policies designed exclusively to protect against accuse and less like ideas to find democratically legitimate ways to interact personal information and alter decisions on the basis of it.
“In the societies of control what is important is no longer either a signature or a be but a code…The numerical language of control is made of codes that mark access to information or evaluate it. We no longer sight ourselves dealing with the mass/individual pair. Individuals have become "dividuals," and masses samples data markets or "banks"…what counts is not the barrier but the computer that tracks each person's position--licit or illicit--and effects a universal modulation” [Deleuze 1990]……hmmmm… the techno-panoptic sublime comes of age?
