AND PEOPLE WONDER WHY SOME OF US CONSERVATIVE FREAKS PROTEST THE TAKING OF THE GPS LOCATION OF EVERY CITIZENS HOME...... IN THE CENSUS OF 2010?
THAT GPS FEDERAL DATA BASE IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED.

What does AG Holder say? Have the Justice Department cleared this? Other than for use on Israeli political leadership, I mean.

“THAT GPS FEDERAL DATA BASE IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED.”
I hate to tell you this but the military has a database that the census does not feed and can target your couch if they so wanted. The entire planet has been mapped to 1 meter resolution or less. If they wanted to hit your house they can it right now. Give them 3 minutes and your front, back, or doggie door can be targeted.

What, you think they can’t get the GPS coordinates of your house using Google Maps?

I have been following their products for years. They have really expanded the capabilities of their porducts.

Well, maybe this is the ultimate “force multiplier”. What would you rather have in your arsenal - an atomic bomb or an autonomous robotic flying device the size of a paperback book programmed to seek out a uniquely identifiable person (i.e., enemy leader) and blow up when within 6 inches of that person? I maintain that the latter would actually be more powerful from a strategic point of view.

No they cannot do so without fore warning. With their own data base, no one knows when or what they are using for.
I have had this conversation myriads of times over the last few months.
Think about it. The government will have access to surbeillance andassault capabilities with no warrants necessary and we would not even know.Ifthats not a problem for you, then you perhaps might rethink it on a constitutional basis.
It has to do with the 4th amendment, not google.Your argument would result in a complete loss of 4th amendment rights based on an excuse that the data is publicly available. Its a specious argument.

And we expect it won't be long before we're writing about DARPA's cyborg beetles becoming living bombs. They're actually looking into insect-sized robots. I doubt the insect UAVs would explode -- more likely inject the target with a potent neurotoxin or some such.

Agreed. But you would need a certain process to occur before the military would do so, we have a dictator in the white house who can access the census data base, the census is now controlled by the White House. The military would not kill its own citizens without an act of congress.
A dictator like Obama could kill a citizen with a secret finding and secret executive order. There is a huge difference. Think about your 4th amendment rights, not the technology.

It’s all great fun until they’re being used in the USA against “right wing extremists.”
