MrBrian, the article says that Dianne Feinstein (DEMOCRAT Senetor) will cosponsor this bill.

On a more practical note, what if you're taking a picture of midgets having sex. Will the camera think that the midgets are minors and alert the FBI?

What if my wife takes pictures of herself sucking my dick. Will the camera think that a grown woman sucking a 2" penis is engaging in child molestation?

MrBrian,

That is some scary stuff.

Shocker,

It says that it will "likely" be carried by Feinstien. It would take a politician with a very conservative constituency to be able to support something so Orwellian. Something she does not have. If you were going to do a story like that, you would deliberately make it seem bi-partisan to try to give it legitimacy, even if you didn't have the facts to back it up. If she was to support something like that then I would be horrified to have voted for her.

Sounds like a bunch of far fetched crap. You can't tell me that camera makers are going to build cameras with a gps homing device and "special software" that can accurately detect KP. Keeping not only the size, but cost of the camera feasibly priced.

Plus, how much would it cost to have a receiver to recieve these "alerts"? How many Police Depts are going to buy one?

As much as I detest KP and those that support it, this article seems to have little based in fact...IMHO!

[Backov]

And what kind of dumbass KP photographer would you have to be to shoot with a camera that did that?

Dumbass: "Well, Vern, we could get this new camera with the built in KP detector and transmitter for our new shoot, or we could get this Nikon for $1000 less without the extra stuff..."

Vern: "KP detector one, definitely dude."

Cheers,
Backov

wizzo, you don't have to broadcast to a satelite to be pickup. Just a relay near by like your cellular is good enough. Targetting specifics is also there. In japan, they have this system they can send you publicity directly to your cellular phone (like a 15% discount) about the store you are going be passing by next. http://www.cnn.com/2000/TECH/computi...idg/index.html Hell, Some filters already work like that on the net, detecting nudity on images. (Ok, I admit they really suck, but it's there) http://www.wired.com/news/technology...,36923,00.html

The technology is there, and this is scary.

Did anyone look at the date of that 'article' ?

[Wizzo]

Here's a senario, It's my 5 year olds birthday, and it's a pool party, so she is in her bathing suit, when grandma leans over to give her a birthday kiss...With my new digital camera(which I had to pay alot more money for to "protect the children") I try to capture the moment, but it won't snap the picture and a few minutes later the police come knocking on my door because they think I'm shooting kiddie Porn...I hope that the company that sold me the camera has a good legal team...cause I'm sueing the shit out of 'em!

CPRM anyone? http://cryptome.org/cprm-smoke.htm They almost got it into the ATA specification this time around. And yes, this is the first step only.

With that shit, you can't read any data on your HD without the proper key's (Given to you by a superior authority of course) for every access you make.

Now you are ready! You just need to have the skin filter request keys directly from the KP unit. This is not joking. It's for the childrens!
