A few weeks ago, there was a lively discussion about the effectiveness of bear pepper spray at the International Human/Bear conflict workshop in Missoula. The conclusion of over 300 experts pointed to the effectiveness of bear spray - which they concluded works a lot better than spraying bullets.

University of Calgary bear expert Steve Herrero, author of the authoritative book Bear Attacks, was involved in two studies that looked at the effectiveness of bear spray and fi****ms in bear attacks. He concluded that 98% of those who used bear spray walked away from their encounter unharmed, and that none of the people or bears involved died. With fi****ms, 56% of the users were subsequently injured, and 61% of the bears died.

Other studies show that hiking and hunting remain in the top two activities most likely to trigger a bear encounter. While the outreach efforts to the hiking community have boosted use of bear spray, the hunting population has been more resistant, preferring fi****ms to bear spray.

In a recent Wall Street Journal article by Julia Angwin, she comments on remarks made at the University of San Francisco "Big Brother in the 21st Century" conference by FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissmann.

He acknowledged that as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling in U.S. v. Jones overturning the warrantless use of GPS tracking devices there has been a "sea change" inside the U.S. Justice Department. That ruling indicated that tracking a vehicle by law enforcement with a GPS device without a search warrant violates the Fourth Amendment. As a result, the FBI has turned off approximately 3000 GPS tracking devices. According to the article, Mr. Weissmann indicated that in order to retrieve some of the devices it was necessary for the FBI to obtain court orders to briefly activate some of them in order to locate and retrieve them.

The FBI is presently developing new guidelines for the use of GPS devices to cover the broader implications of the court decision beyond the use of GPS tracking. As the Supreme Court held that agents had committed a trespass in placing the GPS on Jones' vehicle, Weissmann indicated they are "wrestling with the legality of whether agents can lift up the lid of a trash can without committing trespass." He also indicated that the FBI is evaluating whether or not "a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy in the totality of their movements, even if those movements are in public" according to the Wall Street Journal article.
