Furthermore, when identity fraud is as prevalent as it is, the Bureau has every reason to watch the swiping of the card itself. Realize something: the government knows so much about the citizenry now that they truly are this "Big Brother" watching our movements. You should be trusting of these folks that they are looking for two things: 1) the frequency with which a transaction occurs without the swiping of a card and 2) the typical speed of an internet dialed card. You must understand that the FBI, DEA, CIA are all there for us. They aren't looking to poison you or arrest you. Their job is to investigate. That is what they are doing. Whatever you do, don't get mad at individuals such as agents. They are often on a group mission and this may be uncomfortable for them as well. If you want to be a smart elic about it, walk off thinking to yourself: "ah, yes. My tax dollars at work." But that is snoody. Ever heard of saying hello to someone? Just say hi and let it be.that. don't get tripped out. These are just people remember.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16750015.post-76897422918673784302010-12-10T16:20:34.655-05:002010-12-10T16:20:34.655-05:00The 4th Amendment died long ago.

The Patriot Act formalized the broad analogy that the courts had already generally agreed with. <br /><br />Also, it is not quite right that credit card networks reliably provide "real time" tracking. Most people can look at their own card statements and find examples of transactions taking days to hit the card issuer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16750015.post-70715167869967500272010-12-05T07:28:11.379-05:002010-12-05T07:28:11.379-05:00Nice.Nice.Mauibradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759237357642699345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16750015.post-46182338746186600062010-12-05T02:32:01.426-05:002010-12-05T02:32:01.426-05:00SUGGESTED READING LIST
