- DanielBMarkham 12y agoDang haters! "I want to give you this scan that might add a year to your life, for free! Isn't that awesome! Aren't I the coolest person in the world?" "What do you get out of it?" "Total access to your physical records, which may be shared with the feds based on an NSL, intercepted by various foreign governments without our knowledge (including our own government), sold on the open market by a bad employee, or just farmed out to advertisers in exchange for a buck." "Ah. Er. What part of that was you being awesome again?" ADD: Don't get me wrong; this is probably truly awesome. Could save hundreds of thousands of lives. Just don't blow smoke up my ass and tell me it doesn't come without a cost, it's costing all of us bit-by-bit. The bill is adding up.
