Data on Americans mined for terror risk - Yahoo! News: "The FBI is gathering and sorting information about Americans to help search for potential terrorists, insurance cheats and crooked pharmacists, according to a government report obtained Tuesday.
Records about identity thefts, real estate transactions, motor vehicle accidents and complaints about Internet drug companies are being searched for common threads to aid law enforcement officials, the Justice Department said in a report to Congress on the agency's data-mining practices."
The database of information that the government keeps on each and every one of is growing by leaps and bounds. It really makes me want to live off the grid, but that is next to impossible today.
