Echelon goes overground in US Why don't SF mention Echelon when asked about spy-rings. I'm sure they know all about it EXTRACT: As neocon columnist Bill Safire points out in today's New York Times, the Homeland Security Act will, among other things, empower an ominous new government agency called the Office of Information Awareness (OIA). The mysterious agency, much-discussed here on GNN, would allow: "Every purchase you make with a credit card, every magazine subscription you buy and medical prescription you fill, every Web site you visit and e-mail you send or receive, every academic grade you receive, every bank deposit you make, every trip you book and every event you attend - all these transactions and communications will go into what the Defense Department describes as 'a virtual, centralized grand database.' To this computerized dossier on your private life from commercial sources, add every piece of information that government has about you - passport application, driver's license and bridge toll records, judicial and divorce records, complaints from nosy neighbors to the F.B.I., your lifetime paper trail plus the latest hidden camera surveillance - and you have the supersnoop's dream: a 'Total Information Awareness' about every U.S. citizen."

which can help you trace Ex-cons of the US federal prison service. the USA locks up more of its people than any other state worldwide, it is a prison state. IŽll hunt out the number and affix it later.
i would rather you shove your finger up your own arsehole, if you enjoy it so much, and keep your nose out of my buisness.
i suggest trolling through everything IŽve ever written on indymedia, collecting all my pamphlets, looking at my old school reports, health records, letters from the debt-collectors, evicition notices and personal correspondence.
Then you might figure out that IŽm an opinionated egotistical slightly maddened anarchist. Now I donŽt think sticking a finger up my bum will do that.

I'm sorry but I still haven't got the hang of the Taoiseach's Tuesday/Wednesday question time.
