Das Reich news bitte. Cheka this Newsletter: Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill is really One Big Surveillance Bill, and it's drastically underreported.
OBBB increases biometric surveillance, extending it into *domestic transportation*, funding surveillance on highways and Amtrak routes near the border.
OBBB will deploy autonomous surveillance towers that include remote video surveillance systems, expand the integration of real-time facial recognition and fingerprint analysis in law enforcement, and automate risk-scoring, turning Silicon Valley’s small-scale pilot programs into foundational infrastructure.
Fittingly, the Trump administration also plans to extend facial recognition in Customs and Border Protection’s Traveler Verification Service via a newly proposed regulation, scanning the faces of *every* US American that travels via sea, land, or air – and is of course bypassing the public comment and review process to get it done.
This will go well with the 9/11 era Real-ID, an identification program mandated for domestic air travel since May of this year, which is planned to effectively function as a digital identity.
But hey, at least you’ll pay less taxes or something.
