> For instance, an update about the T.S.A.’s Transportation Security Enforcement Record System, which contains information about travelers accused of “violations or potential violations” of security regulations, warns that the records may be shared with “a debt collection agency for the purpose of debt collection.”
This is absurd. So now the government is snitching on citizens who are traveling domestically.
- malandrew 13y agoWait, WTF does airport security have to do with debt collection?
- dmix 13y agoWhat does 99.99-% of phone call records have to do with Terrorism/National Security? Mass data collection doesn't discriminate. These organizations are in the business of collecting everything about you. "Debt collection" is just their primary business. For ex, most American pharmacies sell what prescriptions people are buying [1] to data mining companies. But they at least "de-identify", due to federal regulations. TSA operates outside quite a few laws/regulations protecting individual rights. We can now add information privacy to that list. http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2011/06/pharmacies-selling-prescription-information-data-mining-companies.html http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2011/06/pharmacies-selling-presc...

- weland 13y agoWell, who knows if someone's gonna be so pissed off at tax collectors that he's gonna blow a fucking plane out of the sky. I mean, really pissed off. Sorry, I couldn't find anything better :(. I've taken the Devil's case pro bono, he's probably gonna fire my ass.
- thisisnotatest 13y agoUm, that sort of happened in 2010. A pilot flew his personal plane into an IRS building in Texas. Not related to TSA screening on commercial flights, but still. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Austin_suicide_attack http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Austin_suicide_attack
