As was noted here earlier, the FBI‘s Next Generation Identification (NGI) system has rolled out, pretty much right on schedule and well ahead of the Privacy Impact Assessment it hasn‘t updated since the announcement of the „system upgrade“ back in 2008.

EPIC has obtained another load of documents from an FOIA request dealing with the „Rap Back“ portion of the NGI system, one that provides constant monitoring of certain people — like suspected criminals, people on parole, employees with security clearances and „trusted positions.“ Notably, the Rap Back program does not track employees of the criminal justice system, and nothing in what‘s been obtained even suggests it can be used that way.
