UPDATE ON MAY MEETING SPEAKER, TUESDAY 5/24
We have received confirmation from Bharat Trehan, PhD, that he will also present at our May meeting. Dr. Trehan retired from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco two years ago, and has since been active with the ACLU. His focus has been on surveillance. In his presentation, he will discuss the use of drones and other surveillance devices, who should decide on whether or not to use such devices, and how they should be deployed.
