Re: [privacy] Police to Get Access to Student Data

 the governments of the world might as well just do it now and get it over with...

  Everyone will now be mandated to get implant chips in their bodies that include a GPS transceiver.  Failure to comply 
will mean fines totaling a minimum of all your assets, and spending the rest of your life in a Turkish prison.

Via The Washington Post.

Virginia's public and private colleges and universities soon will be
required to submit the names and Social Security numbers of tens of
thousands of students they accept each year to state police for
cross-checking against sexual offender registries.

The little-noticed but groundbreaking law is raising concerns among
privacy experts about giving police access to a vast new database of
student information. They say the data could be stored permanently on
hard drives and mishandled, stolen or used for unrelated homeland
security or law enforcement purposes.
