A documentary about a Russian drone (Geran) manufacturing site.
It is in Dutch but with the google captions, English translation should be possible.
The Russians even have (African) students working in the manufacturing plant.
Lots of technical details about the Geran 2 and even a bit about the Geran 3.

No, it's really not like that. These are actual persons stopped at border crossings, customs, ports, etc. and printed/scanned before being admitted. Yes, the biometric matching process is automated. But the results and disposition are "human in the loop" as to whether or not that person is allowed in. I fail to see how any of the above fits in with your interpretation.

And, full disclosure, the reason I know all of the above is because of professional involvement in said systems for over a decade now.
Okay, you are not talking about surveillance. But for someone who has professionally been involved in the system for over a decade shouldn't be getting the terminalogy mixed up. People passing thru boarder ports of entry, showing their passports, etc, (standard processing), be it automation or direct human contact and such, are interactions, not encounters. Encounters are when authorities encounter individuals who are inadmissible to the U.S. or subject to expulsion, which includes apprehensions. So you are still manipulating facts. Not only by misclassifying interactions as encounters, but also with the 2.5M+, as the average daily interactions are half that amount.

In all honestly, your "I have been professionally involved in the systems for over a decade now" with you mixing up terminalolgy and inflated number of interactions, reminds me of my brother. He's been a plumber for 4 decades, and thinks because he's done the plumbing for restaurants and such, that he's knows everything about them all the way down to food safety laws/regulations and standards. Yet, he doesn't even know the basic standards/requirements for washing dishes in a 3 compartment sink. A piece of equipment that he installs. So what piece of equipment ("systems") do you install, and/or maintain for the interactions at the boarder? Because you are giving off the same vibe as my brother does.

You know, your "I have been professionally involved in the systems for over a decade now" with you mixing up terminalolgy and such, reminds me of my brother. He's been a plumber for 4 decades, and thinks because he's done the plumbing for restaurants and such, that he's been involved in them, and knows all about operating a restaruant, down to the regulations, costs, food safety laws and standards, and such. Yet, he doesn't even know the basic standards/requirements for washing dishes in a 3 compartment sink. A piece of equipment that he installs.

I'm not the one screwing up my terms. They're literally called encounters. Industry wide term for exactly what I've described. Engineering subject matter expert that's worked across all major .gov biometric matching systems (yes, there is more than one). And like your terms, your vibes are all wrong.

Putting people in roles where they don’t even know the rules are.

Kristi noem…. Does know what habeas corpus is

Tom homan … if you look like an immigrant you will be detained and it is happening.

There are a record number of lawsuits against ice…

And they will go absolutely nowhere.

SCOTUS will green light it and what's even more scary is Fed Agents with masks are basically the proud boys with m4's.

You think some court judgment will save you.. just like some court judgment against Trump for sexual assault or stealing an election?

The time for diplomacy and peaceful resistance is over. They're counting on people to be a bunch of sissies so they can do what they want with them.

And the media pays no attention to mass shootings so even if they were to shoot up protesters who gives a shit?

We're basically fooling ourselves with a false belief that elections and laws and judges somehow matter anymore. The only thing that matters is might makes right now and you have to use might!

We're not in Obama's America anymore.. we're in Trump's Russified MAGAistan!

And for the record, we've seen 2.745M encounters in the last 24hrs.

Those are "encounter IDs", not "interaction IDs". Because I've never seen/heard anyone internal refer to them as interactions.

If you don't believe me, you can verify (no pun intended) yourself by checking out DHS' IXM 6.0.9 spec. Should just be able to CTRL-F for encounter and you'll figure it out ...

https://www.dhs.gov/publication/idents-ixm-schema-and-conformance-tool

DoJ NGI and DoD ABIS use a different spec (EBTS variants). Field 2.351 is specifically for "Encounter Protect". Meaning that contents for that particular encounter (again, not interaction) aren't visible to everyone.

I could go on, but I've got a leaky sink that I need to look at.
