US spy on people using aircraft with security equipment



The US Justice Department is using "feykovye" cell tower on airplanes to get free access to registration data from the phones of almost all the country's population.

As told WSJ anonymous sources familiar with the secret program the US authorities, the technique of shadowing fully operational since 2007 and identifies the location of any phone with an error of only three meters.

It is running the whole system like this: on the aircraft (the most commonly used small civilian aircraft company Cessna) installed special equipment - stuffed with electronics boxes in the shape of a cube. Square faces boxes are 0.6 meters in length, but the relatively small size does not prevent them to play the role of full-fledged cell phone towers.

Aircraft with these devices is then lifted into the air. The operation uses five (at least) the major airports, and their location, coupled with a range of aircraft flight ensures contact with the phones of almost all of the US population.

"Towers" can analyze thousands of active phones, simulating a strong signal. Since modern mobile phones are designed in such a way that automatically selects the strongest signal, then fall into the trap and select signal "tower" on the plane.

As soon as the connection box on an airplane gets access to the phone of equal access of the cellular operator: he becomes the registration data phone, including highly valuable information to the authorities about his whereabouts.

According to sources the WSJ, this technique is only used to spy on suspects and criminals, but "towers" in the process of receiving data from thousands nothing to do with this or that operation of phones that just looking to identify the signal of the desired phone.

Saved if the data in the device memory, and some established control over their use - is unknown. Departures equipped aircraft occur regularly.

The Ministry of Justice at the request WSJ information to confirm or refute. A ministry spokesman said only that the discussion of these issues can be declassified US intelligence opportunities for criminals and foreign powers, and all ministries projects do not go beyond US laws.

From the article the WSJ, however, that if this program really exists, its use violates the country's constitution.

Data Now can be saved on a Drop of DNA of your body

In the new study, researchers from Columbia University and the New York Genome Center ( NYGC ) demonstrated that the algorithm for streaming video on the smartphone can be almost fully unlock the potential of DNA storage and compression of additional information in the four nucleotide bases.   The idea and the general considerations of the recording, storage and retrieval of information in DNA molecules belong to Michael Neumann - Soviet scientist and physicist. In 1964, the magazine "Radio" published an article, which describes the technology of the process and data storage device - Neumann oligonucleotides (MNeimON).  In 2012, geneticists at Harvard University was able to encode a draft of a book of 53,400 words, 11 images and one program. They found that in each cubic millimeter of DNA can be stored 5.5 petabytes of data. A year later, the researchers of the European Bioinformatics Institute managed to save, and then completely remove and play about 0.6 megabytes o...
