Once again our civil liberties are being taken from usPosted by: HOST18 in UncategorizedSome visitors and citizens of the United States may be shocked to learn that their computers, cell phones and data devices are now subject to search and data retrieval upon entry into the U.S., even without cause or suspicion. On April 19th, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that all computers and data devices are the same as luggage in that they can be searched without cause, and that all collected data may be stored indefinitely.Until recently, the law said that unwarranted computer searches constituted an “intrusion of the mind”, but those days are now over in light of the new rulings. The latest rulings stem from a case where airline passenger, Timothy Arnold, was pulled aside for secondary questioning upon his arrival into LAX from The Philippines in July, 2005. Customs agents searched his laptop and found images depicting child pornography. Initially, it was ruled that agents didn’t have reasonable suspicion to search his laptop, however, that ruling was overturned. Arnold was later charged with possessing and transporting child porn and with traveling to a foreign country with the intention of having sex with children. U.S. Attorney Thomas O’Brien praised the decision, “The government needs to have the ability to restrict harmful material from entering the country, whether that be weapons used by terrorists, dangerous narcotics or child pornography.” However, many disagree. Travelers now have new concerns about the security of their private and corporate data. Some fear that poorly trained officers could accidentally corrupt or erase data during such searches. Also unknown, is where and how long data will be stored, perhaps making it vulnerable to theft or breaches. As it stands, all retrieved data can be kept indefinitely. Despite the governments’ new far-reaching power into your privacy there are a few things you can do to help secure your data when you travel. CNET offers a handy article that outlines different types of encryption and other techniques that can help keep your data secure. The added delays and headaches seem almost insignificant when considering how much our personal liberties are being systematically revoked. We can understand the need to search for weapons and contraband but suspicionless searches of data is a bold new level of privacy invasion. Our laptops and personal information, once considered an extension of the mind, are now considered luggage. We wonder how long it will be until our minds are also considered luggage and subject to search without suspicion. From the Consumerist Or is it the other way around? Either way here is a shirt I designed for GCS based in California.
“The mural is being repainted by Gotham Scenic using the extensive photographic documentation of the original work. The work will be unveiled on May 4, 2008 the day that would have been Keith Haring’s 50th Birthday.”( Deitch.com) Kinda cool but i still perfer Death Bowl to Downtown: The Evolution of Skateboarding in New York will be hitting theaters this summer. The film is the first to explore skateboarding’s urban history in Manhattan. Tracing “skating’s epochal shift from the parks and pools of the 70’s, to ramp skating in the 80’s, to the street ascendancy of the 1990’s as seen from a New York-centric perspective,” it includes footage and interviews with pioneers from the past and those still grinding today. I personally can’t wait for this to drop as I spent many years within this culture. I skated most of my teenage life and could always be found at Benji’s Ultimate Journey where I worked and skated for. Anyone who skated in NYC in the early 90’s knows the deal. The new full length NIN album The Slip just dropped, and it’s free!

http://www.kehindewiley.com/main.html Check out some of Kehinde Wiley’s work. This guy flips the script on Renaissance and Baroque style paintings. The dope part is he doesnt cop out and scale them down, these paintings are massive.
I just got the email from the good folks at bombing science telling me I am the first place winner in their sketch battle that was judged by Bates . The rules were pretty simple, every one had to do a “Dives” outline. I did the sketch the night before the deadline ( that’s the dym way ) so I didn’t get a chance to throw in some colors but its to the point and rocks. Check out some of the other joints submitted, some of those dudes got some heat! http://www.bombingscience.com/graffitiforum/showthread.php?t=5127 The Revamp project is back in full swing. I just redesigned the site. Go check it out HERE
