Eileen Buckley reports:
The Niagara Falls City School District has installed high-tech weapons screening system in three schools.
The district is spending $641,000 to lease but includes all future technology upgrades.

And it’s not just schools and sporting events, these days. Over on his blog, Joe Cadillic talks about surveillance systems being installed at zoos and museums.

Border Patrol's use of Amazon's Wickr messaging app draws scrutiny
In October, Laurence Brewer, the chief records officer of the National Archives and Records Administration, told officials at U.S. Customs and Border Protection he was worried about how the agency was using an app called Wickr. The Amazon-owned encrypted messaging platform is known for its ability to automatically delete messages.
Brewer, who is responsible for ensuring that government officials handle records correctly, wrote in a letter that he was “concerned about agencywide deployment of a messaging application that has this functionality without appropriate policies and procedures governing its use.”
Privacy in other cultures...
The state of privacy regulations across Asia
Throughout Asia, it’s clear that the European Union’s GDPR privacy regulations, which apply globally when handling EU residents’ data, has marked out many of the ground rules in how to handle privacy laws. But although there are some common elements, there’s no overarching uniformity.
… “There is a miss misunderstanding that the EU is the highest standard. It definitely is in some areas, but in some areas, definitely not,” says Miriam Wugmeister, a Morrison Foerster partner and cochair of its global privacy and data security group. For example, “countries such as South Korea, Japan, and Singapore are the leaders in terms of data security. On data localization [a.k.a. data sovereignty ], China’s way ahead of Europe,” Wugmeister tells CSO Online.
Interesting perspectives.
