Re: [privacy] U.S. Government Mining Banking Data in Anti-Terror Effort

I really don't understand this. They've been doing this sort of thing
for DECADES. How do you think they froze bin Laden's funds? How do you
think they seize these drug dealer's money in Switzerland?

Holy crap! Everyone jumps on this OLD news as if its new and something
to be completely aghast over... maybe it is, but you should have been
on that bandwagon 30 years ago when it started. One HAS to believe the
venom shown is politically motivated, and therefore its easily
ignored.
