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]
