For Whom the Bell Tolls: More on the In-School Suspension Program in Dallas
June 30th, 2008Gazing upon the U.S. now just seems like looking at Hell as a fractal. You zoom in, and there’s more Hell. Zoom in again, more Hell. Zoom in again, GPS tracked students. Zoom in again, breakfast stick.
—Texas: “In-School Suspension Program” Uses GPS Tracking Systems Attached to Students
Via: Dallas Observer:
AIM’s monitoring system employs a cell phone and provides for constant surveillance via satellite, tracking Aragon’s position within 5 to 10 feet of her location. The signal is picked up every 10 minutes and sent to a computer, but since most kids live close to school, each one is required to press a locator button three times in case the signal is lost inside the building. Aragon does this three times a day: when she arrives at school in the morning, at lunchtime and after coming home for her obligatory 9 p.m. curfew when she receives an automated digital phone call that requires her to call back within three minutes. Upon returning the call, she must read a series of numbers, and the system recognizes her voice, which confirms her identity. If Aragon does not respond to calls or isn’t where she’s supposed to be, a Dallas County constable picks her up and brings her to court.

orwell is somewhere, spinning oh so fast.
The only hope for the outer party, is that the proles will burn down the ministry of truth. The weakness with this theory, is that the ministry of love is now an empty shell, administered from dubai on a secure fibre optic link. It can and will be reconstructed, for sure, on a no-bid contract with the ministry of halliburton.
the next level of fractal magnification, would show the rfid tags, now successfully shrunk to the size of nanobots, floating around in miss aragon’s blood.
the only hope we have is that eventually the data will overwhelm the ability of humint to process.
it is a very thin hope.
it tolls for thee.
