27. February, 2002 - who wants privacy?

FDA to Weigh Proposal for ID Implant. Sure, it will only be approved for voluntary use, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to have some parents group start tagging their kids to protect the children. And then it's not so voluntary anymore, is it? [google news]
We're not The Great Unwatched anymore. Especially in the District of Corruption. $20 billion a year to keep an eye on us citizens.
Banks ask feds to block consumer privacy laws ostensibly to help combat terrorism. Funny, this time it's not the feds who are attacking our privacy. Y'think maybe the banks are looking to make a few more bucks by selling personal information about their customers? [strib]
Surveillance is getting Up Close and Personal. And a fat lot of good it'll do in stopping terrorism. [some guy]
Terror link seen in identity thefts. It's not just banks and the government that are snooping. The fact that so much information about us is tied to a few numbers. Sigh. [cryptogram]
Great concept, great name: Peekabooty. Get that smut where they really need it, I mean, they can't say porn caused the repression of those women. [steph]
