MESSAGE FROM NCISS PRESIDENT
The Privacy Solution
If I were you, I'd be scared to death. According to some experts we are in the midst of a crisis. More serious than the devastation of earthquakes, tsunamis, poverty, famine, disease or jihadist fanaticals bent on  destroying Western civilization and looming ever close is the loss of privacy! Every day tens of millions of Americans just like you are being secretly tracked while online. Clandestinely, retailers like Amazon, Starbucks and J.C. Penney are watching you and your children. Without your knowledge or permission, these greedy capitalists are watching your online search behaviors, click-throughs and every web purchase. They do this for one reason and one reason alone-they want to sell you stuff. They want to reduce the waste of your time and attention while making the best use of their advertizing dollars. In exchange, they pay for the unlimited free services you receive from Google, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and YouTube. Tell me it isn't so (weep, weep)!
But fear not, the privacy mavens will soon be here. Already they have established beachheads in Europe. Relentlessly, protecting the privacy of its citizens, the Eurozone already prohibits passing personal information across the borders of state members. Businesses can no longer even exchange the names of their employees or job titles between branches located in different countries.

Growing up in the small farming community of Franklin, Kentucky (Don describes it as the "last exit in Kentucky") and the oldest of four children, Don Johnson just wanted to see the world. Joining the US Air Force was the answer. He enlisted one year after graduating from high school. After scoring high in language aptitude and learning Russian, he found himself assigned to the USAF Security Service (now known as the Air Intelligence Agency) as a Russian Intelligence Analyst. He experienced a part of the world he wasn't anticipating. He was stationed with a United States-Turkey logistical detachment in a remote NATO radar station as a Russian Morse code analyst.
Following four years active duty, Don attended school on the GI bill at Indiana University and majored in professional theatre, studying acting and stage management. He subsequently went to work for Actors' Equity...read more |
