DAVID PRICE, PH.D.
During the last decade he has served on several American Anthropological Associations commissions and task forces dealing with political and ethical issues facing the association, including the Ad Hoc Commission on the Engagement of Anthropology with the U.S. Security & Intelligence Communities (2006-2009) and the Ad Hoc Ethics Sub-Committee Task Force (2008-2011), which wrote the revised code of ethics recently adopted by the association.
He is writing a three volume series of books using the Freedom of Information Act and archival sources to examine American anthropologists' interactions with intelligence agencies. His Book, Threatening Anthropology: McCarthyism and the FBI's Persecution of Activist Anthropologists (Duke University Press, 2004) uses 30,000 pages of FBI documents to examine governmental attempts to suppress academic freedom. Archaeological Intelligence: The use and Neglect of American Anthropology in the Second World War (in press, 2008, Duke) documents anthropological contributions to the Second World War. A third volume, Dual Use Anthropology: Cold War Anthropologists and the CIA will explore anthropologists' interactions with the CIA and the Pentagon during the Cold War. His most recent book is Weaponizing Anthropology: Social Science in Service of the National Security State (CounterPunch, 2011),

Fifth Circuit Says Law Enforcement Doesn’t Need Warrants To Search Phones At The Border
Privacy
from the never-mind-the-precedent dept
Fri, Aug 25th 2023 10:48am - Tim Cushing
In 2014, the Supreme Court made it clear: phone searches require warrants. While it did note the case involved a search “incident to an arrest,” the precedent was undeniable. If a phone search attached to an arrest requires a warrant, it would logically follow that any phone search by law enforcement — even those not subsequent to an arrest — requires a warrant.
Since then, multiple federal courts have come to the opposite conclusion in cases involving searches of phones at borders or international airports. According to these judges, the Riley decision simply doesn’t apply when border security is in play. And it doesn’t matter whether

Surveillance in the Stacks: The FBI's Library Awareness Program
Herbert N. Foerstel
Foerstel, himself one of the leaders in the effort to expose the FBI's notorious `spies in the stacks' program, writes as a partisan of privacy rights with a well-earned distrust of the FBI's efforts to excuse itself from observing those rights. In fairness to the other side, however, he also gives full play to the arguments of national security and for the prevention of the flow of `sensitive' information into foriegn hands. In this extensively documented and thoroughly researched tale, he offers many stories of the courage and fortitude of librarians opposed to this program, from the jailing of Zoia Horn to the eloquent indignation of Columbia University's Paula Kaufman and the tenacious Library Association's Intellectual Freedom Committee. Less happy is his picture of the heavily politicized National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS) and others who have acquiesced to the spying. The chapters on the political ramifications of the program and the legal context of library confidentiality are also valuable--although it is possible to argue with some of Foerstel's conclusions. But this illuminating, cautionary work is bound to remain an authoritative source on a vitally important subject. Library Journal... the book can be compelling and even, melodramatic as it may sound, frightening reading. Booklist As part of its Library Awareness Program, the Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted numerous counterintelligence activities in libraries, including requesting confidential information on library users based solely on their nationality. Written by a librarian whose own institution was the target of such intrusions and who later helped to develop confidentiality legislation, Surveillance in the Stacks is the first book to document and analyze the FBI's wide-ranging surveillance of libraries. Relying heavily on previously classified FBI reports, the book traces the recent history of federal library surveillance, documents the media and congressional

‘Underwhelming:’ NIH trials fail to test meaningful long COVID treatments after 2.5 years and $1 billion, experts say
Written by Betsy Ladyzhets
Edited by Derek Kravitz and Erin Mershon
More than 2 ½ years after the National Institutes of Health received a $1 billion mandate from Congress to study and treat long COVID, the agency has finally launched clinical trials for the often-debilitating condition. But both scientists who study long COVID and patients who have struggled with it say the trials are unlikely to deliver meaningful treatments, suggesting the federal government’s landmark COVID research effort may have been wasted.

Montana’s Response To Lawsuits Over Laughably Unconstitutional TikTok Ban Is To Say That TikTok Is The Equivalent Of ‘Cancer-Causing Radio’
Free Speech
from the speech-doesn't-cause-cancer dept
Fri, Aug 25th 2023 12:44pm - Mike Masnick
As you’ll recall, Montana passed a law earlier this year to ban TikTok (and ban mobile app stores from offering TikTok for download). The bill has lots of problems, not the least of which was that Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen flat out told the NY Times that the purpose of the bill was to censor speech that parents were complaining about:
Mr. Knudsen, a Republican, said his team had received scores of complaints from parents about TikTok content referring to drugs, suicide or pornography. As the state’s legislative session approached this year, his office began looking
