It's only a matter of time before every license plate has RFID and there are readers at every intersection. There is a whole byzantine network of data that various enforcement jurisdictions collect.

I stopped believing in privacy when a local NJ PD accessed a sealed record of mine from his squad car.

Who has access to all of that data? I know that a lot of the equipment was paid for with all of the homeland security funds that were made available by the fed. Who gets all of that data?

Probably DHS and whomever DHS chooses to share it with. But I think the answer is that DHS is the central repository.

Transportation Security Administration boss John Pistole said something revealing. "I see flying as a privilege that is a public safety issue. So the government has a role in providing for the public safety and we need to do everything we can in partnership with the traveling public, to inform them about what their options are,"

So douche bag Bureau nazis are defining what is a privilege, man the they really do have a blank cheque and this lavender only seems to be getting worse like some Kafka-esque spiral into hell.

How long before these nutjobs start demanding random pat-downs?

The DHS and the new entitled attitude of police agencies don't seem to be making us any safer, but they're making us a hell of a lot less free.

I have always been more afraid of the cops than the criminals. But when you are a child and a snaggletoothed redneck deputy tells you that it's ok for parents to beat their children and accuses you of being in a gang, well...you lose faith when people that stupid and nasty get put into positions of authority.
