Schneier on Security: "We've opened up a new front on the war on terror. It's an attack on the unique, the unorthodox, the unexpected; it's a war on different.

This YouTube video features freedom-loving brother Darren Pollard in the U.K. facing down police officers who came onto his property in an attempt to intimidate him into not videotaping them in the course of their duties.
My sincerest thanks to Mr. Pollard for making his video available. All free nations of the world could benefit from several hundred thousand Mr. Pollards.

Mr. Pollard: you are ShadowMonkey's hero for today.

OK. Put aside the ridiculously fascist-like title of "Homeland
Security" itself for a moment. It's all in the name of protecting us --
the citizens -- right? Well
what about when that same Homeland Security apparatus names its efforts
to collect information on everyone that passes across a U.S. border by
rail, car, plane, ship, etc. with the following: Automated Targeting System
