1:24:20 Capitalism at its best. That's capitalism for you. Play the douchebag thing. It's unbelievable. Douchebag! Unbelievable. So I'm like L1 huh? Sounds a lot like L3 doesn't it? So I figure I'll go look at L1. What is this company all about? Because of course, you know, this is where the news breaks down. The news ain't gonna go any further than that. We've got to move on to some drama and some blood and you know local, you know, Riley Cyrus. There you go. Who had a horrible dress on according to the fashion police. Oh, just dreadful. Just dreadful. Yes. Oh, by the way, Sarah Jessica Parker, just horrible shoes. So then the biometrics task force, there's like a porn gathering.
1:25:03 Which is that the government is there and it's all and it's just this this website Which is linked in the show notes at no agenda show calm is it's it's just unbelievable when When you see all I mean this video There's all kinds of different companies selling stuff and here's this woman. I think on behalf of l1 issue must be part of the Well, let's listen to the clip. I'm not going to play all of it, but you'll get the idea as to what the actual plan is. Now, you've just heard the way they do it is they set it up. We'll set up some ideas in government. We'll pass a couple of laws. Then we leave to go help out the company and shepherd the contracts in and make a bundle. It's all about money, not about your safety, your security, or mine.
1:25:49 By the way, this is a promotional video for L1. I'm telling you, L1 is great! They're gonna track your every single move. Your face, your palm, your ass. We've got it all. And I've gotta tell ya, L1 Communications, they are the future! Shit, the intro was longer than I expected. Sorry. Hi, this is Zach Martin, editor of Regarding ID Magazine and thirdfactor.com at the Biometrics Consortium Conference in Tampa. Today we spoke with Lisa Swan of the Biometric Task Force about how the DoD is using biometrics in theater in Iraq and Afghanistan. So again, you just got to wait for a minute as she talks about, yeah, theater, Iraq, Afghanistan, but then all of a sudden the monkey comes out of the sleeve, as we say in the Netherlands. Fennheit, again, are two of the systems that we're using, and they are the most prevalent systems in theater.
1:26:41 Both can be used for verification. For identification, typically when we're enrolling someone, we will use something like the bat has more capability. The bat. And they have this logo of a bat, John. It's awesome. And by the way, this is for enrollment. Notice the the fine use of the word enrollment. I like that. Yeah, very good. Yeah, you enroll six effort Yeah, because you can enroll someone into prison But you can enroll them into school or other or Boy Scouts for all I care. However hide also can be used hide H I ID The hide the difference with the hide is that it is a handheld it can be taken a lot of places that the bat really isn't practical and
1:27:21 The downside is the hide has to plug into the bat to download its records and to upload its watch listing capabilities. So both can be used for both applications. It just depends really on what you're trying to do and where in terms of which you would choose. And actually hide and bat the biometrics automated tool set are biometrics automated tool set John. This is what it's all about We've got to get our biometrics and by the way There's a reason I believe when you're in the scanner that you have to face one certain way and hold your hands up with your palms out Against the the scanner. I believe that they're taking your palm biometrics. There's no other reason for you to have to do that Is there?
1:28:01 I can't think of any. So and we know that there's you know there's some reports of them saving facial pictures of course they could just take a picture of you but no I think that there's the biometrics are being tracked in these scanners. The two most prevalent systems that we're using in theater today but with there are other systems. In theater. In theater. It's in theater but that's about to change. As well. And we use them for a variety of applications. We use them for taking biometrics from detainees, for example, to record their information so we can tell if we have encountered these people before. We also use biometrics to verify the identity of individuals. Is this person who they claim to be? And an example of that would be for someone who is a non-US citizen but working on a US facility.
1:28:46 Their biometric credential says, yes, this person is who they claim to be. We know them, they're vetted, and they're okay to be in this place. So those are two examples. We also use biometrics for, I'm sorry, not detaining operations, but... Standby. Checkpoints. Checkpoint. As someone is entering an area perhaps or... Sounds a lot like those TSA checkpoints. Random checks. Again, it's do we know this person? Have we encountered them before? Or is this person who they claim to be just a verification? As you know, biometrics have been around for a long time. Oh yeah. And fingerprints have been the... Oh yeah, you know that. Hey slave, you know that. It's been around for a long time. Shut up slave. You know this. This is nothing new. The method of choice, if you will. Who is this woman? She's with the Department of Defense. She's with the military. But listen to what she's about to say. She's about to blow your mind. ...into other modalities. We're now certainly using a lot of iris.
1:29:39 We're using palm, facial, moving toward DNA. And so we'll continue to... It's all the things that are being introduced into the civilian life right now. Palm, fingerprints, DNA, all that, checkpoints, it's all... This is words that we use today in our civilian security. ...explore and embrace new modalities and also to look at biometrics at a distance. How can we do things further away? How can we do things less intrusively? How can we do them cheaper? How can we do them faster? You know, the old adage of faster, better, cheaper. But it really does apply.
1:30:19 As funding starts to come down, the systems have to be more cost effective and also they have to be able to scale to handle a very large population. A very large population, John. We're not talking about prisons here I don't think, do you? A very large population. population be? So I think you'll see us moving in that direction in terms of the technology and also the policy to allow us to use biometrics across a variety of fronts. Ah, the technology and the legal framework here to use this technology across a variety of fronts. Ooh, I'm getting chills. Our focus to date has been mostly on the military application side.
1:30:58 But I believe where we're headed for the future is on the friendly side, using biometrics to support services to enable applications like access to financial records. Oh, right, of course, friendly, access to financial records. Access to medical services. Oh, medical services, like the Obama health care bill. For our U.S. population. Our U.S. population, thank you. Three minutes and 33 seconds to get to that point, but there it is. Our US population. Thank you very much. That's what it's all about. Well, congratulations to the 27 states who are resisting this so far. Yeah, California, unfortunately not one of them. California's in on the game. Stupid. Well, it's a bunch of Democrats. What do you expect?
