Bush targets, well, everyone
p2pnet.net News:- George W. Bush wants your personal information. And yours. And yours.
It’s bad enough that the outgoing Cheney / Bush administration is planning to use an Automated Targeting System (ATS) to award what some media are calling a ‘terror score’ to US citizens. But it doesn’t rest there.
The US Department of Homeland Security also wants the addresses, credit card information, billing addresses, cellphone numbers and email addresses of everyone else in the world, including Canadians.
“They won’t let you look at the information but they can share it with law enforcement agencies, foreign governments, even public health agencies and they can keep the dossiers compiled on millions of Canadian travellers for up to 40 years,” says The Toronto Star.
“It’s all in the name of assigning you a score as a potential terrorist.”
The Department of Homeland Security was unapologetic, saying the ATS is really just a continuation of a program overseen by another agency for more than a decade, says the story, but privacy advocates say the Bush administration was trying to hide the program.
“The Automated Targeting System mines a vast amount of data to create a `risk assessment’ on hundreds of millions of people per year, a label that will follow them for the rest of their lives, as the data will be retained for 40 years,” said the Electronic Privacy Information Centre, according to The Toronto Star.

I would like to comment on this, but that would lower my ‘terror score’.

I honestly must say that the United States is a truly f*cked up country and its citizens are living in an illusion the present government calls freedom. Seriously, this country is coming more of a problem than a solution to world peace. Even this “terror score” system sounds like a plot out of a bad conspiracy flick.
