While this report seems like a convenient thing to cite when someone calls me paranoid for putting a pebble in my shoe before going grocery shopping, its reccomendations are less than comforting.
>[The intelligence community] "should develop a multi-layered approach to catalog, to the extent feasible, the acquisition and use of CAI across its 18 elements."
The problem isn't that this data isn't organized well enough...
I'm not sure what these 18 elements are but found something involving HIPAA which uses the same phrase:

- lsllc 3y agoIf I may -- what does putting a pebble in your shoe before going grocery shopping do? Is the intent to change the way you walk to defeat some sort of gait analysis based surveillance? (you'd imagine facial recognition was far more effective!).
- GenerocUsername 3y agoI think it's to prevent loligagging and therefore reduce time and money spent on trivalties. It forces you to get what you want efficiently and get out.
- notjulianjaynes 3y agoIt was a joke but yes gait recognition was what I was the reference I was shooting for.
- lsllc 3y agoAh, thanks. Speaking of "shooting" I also wondered if it was a technique to help disguise a CCW carry (supposedly secret service agents are trained to spot the gait of someone carrying a concealed firearm).
- rationalist 3y agoNo, pebbles in the shoe would just draw attention to you by people looking for someone with an unusual gait. While I don't know if that detail about the U.S.S.S. is true (it probably is), there are "tells" if someone is consciously or subconsciously thinking about a firearm on their body.
