By Your Dots They Shall Know You
A research team led by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) recently broke the code behind tiny date, time, and serial number identifying dots printers and copiers secretly hide in documents. The U.S. Secret Service admitted that the tracking information is part of a deal struck with manufacturers. The EFF story is at this link. They list results for tested printers and copiers here and seek samples from others for further investigation. The patterns are visible under blue laser light using a microscope. EFF tells here how to spot the pattern and understand the coding as well as offering a program which can be either downloaded or used online to reveal the encoded information.

Thay have had things that track humans for a long time .Like not that i have proof but back in the 80s you could call a # and do a few things and have any phone bugs way before this so called alowed to.that got info did not act but knew how to set you up wayyyyyyyy back in the 60s but the program to track and trace phones and words much less computer stuff .Ever people realy know how well thay can and could be tracked no mater the programs open to none goverment and giant businees that would be to scared to say a word.
