Responding to Michael Hayden’s admission that metadata is used to execute lethal strikes, Binney details how automated GPS tracking from cellular phones and mobile computers feeds directly into tactical targeting systems. Binney breaks down the core structural issue plaguing electronic targeting: the absence of physical target verification. Because collection networks lock onto device signals rather than confirmed human identities, lethal force is deployed on probabilistic assumptions, raising grave constitutional and humanitarian concerns.
