Ax, How long ago did you retire? Thank you for serving your country. Words from people like you do help calm people down a bit.
Technology is a wonderful thing. But in the case of Privacy it is working strongly against it. It’s not just the NSA, companies like Google are tracking us in everything we do on the Internet.
A smartphone has a GPS, Microphone, Camera, etc. that can be used against us.
We need much stronger and effective privacy laws.
I can check my credit score at any time. We should be able to examine the information that the Government and companies are holding on us and have it deleted. (Unless someone is really a criminal suspect).
Don’t think this will happen, way to much money in knowing everything about us and the Government wants the power.
I packed it in in 1997. Wish we’d kept going for a few more years. Late wife and I were being overtaken by technology; some of the people we got sent for help were our kids’ ages. Would’ve loved to have been back in the saddle for post-9/11 operations. Our daughter is a legacy. She deployed to Afghanistan three times. It was my pleasure serving, both in the military and a civilian.
