Latest Issue Espresso, page 44, article by Gianluca Di Feo and Marco Lillo "Maximum Insecurity."
from here for a follow on from my post some time ago, shortly after London bombings: the Minister Pisanu comes to action against terrorism, but the resources available for law enforcement officials continue to decline ("What does the Minister ..." of 07.13.2005).
The two journalists in their article analyzing this issue, and I'd tell you a little 'what are their views, schematically.
1) First reaction: "The unions have taken with sarcarmo and speak explicitly of" anti-terrorism package ".."
In practice the police, and their representatives, including unions, are not happy. As I also said I
, prevention can not be done only with the law, but we need concrete actions in support of forces order.
2) How do you fight "terror" in the article talks a lot about this and they say that actually you can also tell me that the firm has increased from 12 to 24 hours, but you have to give me even more than men, inevitably, I will need to monitor the suspect for twice as long.
3) Men: The military can detain and search suspects ... I do not add up: the best are all overseas, Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo, Bosnia ...
Who sent you? The boys of the Academy?
4) Interceptions: "Even the 007 will be able to tap the phones ..." .
The first task was reserved for Ros and Digos.
The problem is greatly emphasized, rightly, is: ok, even if we manage to intercept all communications suspicious, but ... How do we know what they are saying?
not just about having interpreters from Arabic, the problems are different:
a) find interpreters they can trust;
b) to find interpreters who not only know Arabic, but who are experienced in different ethnic groups and dialects.
Pisanu Decree also requires telephone companies to offer the ministry data on their customers.
Until 1996 there was a database called "Oasip", made available by Telecom (the only operator in that period). After a series of controversies
born from its use, Telecom decided not to make more data available.
This emphasizes the fact that there are in fact the technical means to control such a huge amount of mobile phones, than they are in these times.
addition, the current mobile network in Italy is very vulnerable, and certainly if an attack would overload quickly, hampering rescue operations.
During meetings in recent days between the prefects of Rome, Turin, Milan and Naples to Telecom and other technical professionals, this is what came out:
"The system of repeaters in Italy ... not possible to isolate the normal traffic and prioritize issues of relief, as happened in London after the 7 and July 21. Only the old TACS system allowed this, but the network has been dismantled..
The article says that "... if a terrorist cell loses barricaded in the subway, the police can not determine user name if not his company chido phone. The same goes for intelligence, with the risk of dropping the confidentiality even preventive wiretapping..
5) The DNA: the new law allows the forced removal of saliva (later revised to a less violent "cut" of hair). Problem? There is a database of genetic codes, as in the UK and U.S., but in Italy, for privacy, not even a database of fingerprints.
So: I draw the DNA of a suspect, and then with what the comparison? The DNA then
filing also includes a number of problems related to its use for other purposes ...
6) The "Command Team": Police, Police and Finance.
The big problem is that there are men, and even fewer are those who specialize, it is assumed that a body like Ros, or Digos, is not happy to give her a few men anywhere else ...
"" After September 11, the Digos, "says Claudio Giardullo Silp of the CGIL," had no reinforcements or resources to invest in training "."
7) Future investments: it looks real appropriations only for the safety of the Torino 2006 Winter Olympics, for which open tenders for surveillance companies, and give them the protection of airports, train stations, ports and subways.
8) Specialists: missing unfortunately.
An example cited by the two reporters, bomb dogs, sharpshooters.
a) dogs in Rome in this August there are only 11 and 9 labrador bomb.
b) shooters: the 200 were 89, 91 in 2001, 87 in 2004.
there really to worry if this is the way the new law protects us ...
In short, we have been given the sop "for our safety," hand the evil that some newspapers and some serious journalist trying to tell us how things go ...
