Automated self-service U.S. Postal Service kiosks are taking and storing photos of users, according to documentation obtained by EPIC through a FOIA request.

Section 3.2.8 of the documentation states: “In order to augment security, a digital photo of the customer will be necessary for some transactions. A camera built in to the basic kiosk will be capable of generating a portrait style identification photograph of users while they are in front of the user interface screen.”

BeSpacific: “No one better has her finger on the pulse of the legal information world than Sabrina Pacifici, law librarian and author of the blog BeSpacific,” writes blogger Robert Ambrogi. “Launched in 2002, BeSpacific is one of the longest-running legal blogs and, remarkably, Sabrina seems more prolific today than ever. She posts multiple items every day, covering the gamut of law, technology and knowledge discovery and topics ranging from cybersecurity to legal research to government regulation to civil liberties to IP and more. For me, BeSpacific is one of my daily must-reads and has been for 14 years straight.”
