I was at the post office and noticed when people paid with a credit card he also entered their 3 digit code for their records.
FUBF, FUCD, Dodd Frank strikes again...
For use in a wide range of research projects?
If only Mengele had had a chance to build databases..
His protegees aren’t far off in having the same mission.
How will Americans say enough?
That's the bureau Elizabeth "Granny" Warren (a/k/a Fauxcahontas) bragged about being instrumental in bringing about -- as proof that she's worked tirelessly "for the middle class."
Obama must not trust Warren Buffett or Timothy Geitner to pay the taxes on all their income...
If no other Law Enforcement agency or private person doesn’t have the right to this information, what exempts federalies?
Wanna bet that 5 million grows? Say you work for Jones Construction. Well, now the gov will claim they need Mr. Jones’ records. They see that Mrs. Jones, who filed joint tax returns, is self employed as a housekeeper 10 people. Now the gov will want the records of each of those 10 people because they paid her, etc., etc., etc. No one is safe from prying eyes.

...unexpectedly...
Not too long ago, I made several on-line transfers from savings to the boys’ checking accounts. You know the drill: pay for tuition; then ya get a call for more book $$$ than planned; then another call for this or that... Apparently, I made over-the-limited-number of allowable transactions and received a letter informing of the $30 FEE and that we had been reported to the federal government (don’t remember the specifics) All I could think of is: IT’S MY FREAKING MONEY!
They want to know how much money we’ve got left that they can steal with more taxes.
Good series for a look at where we are headed (maybe already there).
Stephen Ezard (Benedict Cumberbatch, Atonement) returns to London to mourn the loss of his brother, Michael, and enters a society now obsessed with surveillance. Searching to make sense of Michael's death, Stephen uncovers secrets about his brother's life — including a wife he never knew Michael had. Taking a government job to trace leads through a powerful new database, Stephen exposes troubling revelations and soon finds himself stalked by a rogue agent (Robert Carlyle, The Full Monty). But when Stephen stumbles into an international conspiracy, he realizes that the omnipresent and menacing eye of the government has turned on him. Scripted by Peter Berry (Prime Suspect 6), The Last Enemy offers a frenetic ride through the paranoia and politics of a futuristic surveillance society.
For some time now I have been hitting the ATM for cash and using that for everything I buy. Prolly not 100% foolproof but better than scattering my credit card info everywhere.
Wish there was an easy way to online shop with cash.
Translation: future federal elections.

This won’t have any more legs than F&F, the AP snooping, Benghazi, the IRS story, or the NSA story.
Lowe’s runs a commercial showing how they know what kind of weed killer you bought a year ago. And people think this is so neat.
If I was younger I’d go cash only. But I’m old enough now that it really won’t affect me that much.
Wanna bet Discover Card’s new “one time late payment free pass” is in part related to this? Sure, they all want you to pay online so they get their $$$ quicker but it gives the snoops one more back door. I had a recent talk with a credit card company that was so strange it had NSA written all over it. Made me a believer in cash only.
