Data exposed
Similar treatment [of a spammer who was spammed himself] is being meted out to John Poindexter, the man in charge of the US Government's Total Information Awareness program.
This will bring together credit card, medical, travel, school and other records to help spot terrorists.
Many web users consider the project to be a gross infringement of privacy and now are subjecting Mr Poindexter to 24-hour scrutiny.
Mr Poindexter's home address, complete with satellite photos, has been published online as has his home phone number and that of his neighbours.
The protest was started by SF Weekly columnist Matt Smith and the information he ferreted out is now widely available online. --- Sent from UnionMail Service [http://mail.union.org.za]
