She has a right to believe that if she wants to. However a number of agencies collect DNA. I assume that public health agencies do it and you know that hospitals do it on newborns as well as most other patients.

Most new ATM's have high quality digital cameras now. They all can be monitored from North Carolina.

You have to admit this is one hilarious commentary. To say nothing of the freeper posts.

I would have charged her $30.00 more than agreed upon and told her that it was to cover the taxes she has underpaid under the Bush administration

Oh...my. Was she wearing a tin foil outfit?

What's a gfi and a swamp cooler?

The ATMs I deal with haven't allowed deposits for a while. Why would they want the extra expense of cataloging DNA information? The vast majority would be totally useless.

You might have told her that Bush/Cheney/Halliburton left that technology behind years ago...they are now able to pull DNA from doorknobs from your homes.

While she sounds more that a bit paranoid, it would not surprise me a bit to discover that there is a "targeted" program to collect DNA samples from non-citizens, and I would be surprised - but not shocked - to discover that it extended to some citizens as well.

The rationale would be that "we already collect this information from a lot of people (for example, members of the military) on a routine basis, other elected governments (for example, Great Britain) do so already, the potential utility is huge, and if people are not breaking the law, why should they complain?".

If so, and ATM envelope would be a attractive source of inputs, and the process would be perfectly legal if warrents were obtained.

The big question is what would happen if it was decided to expand the program beyond the scale were it was practical to obtain warrants, or to the point the warrants were being issued on such a wholesale bias that there was essentially no real oversight at all, and it became essentially a matter of indiscriminately compiling a national DNA database - that instead of being asked for "Your Papers, Please" you left your identification everywhere you had been.

>"What's a gfi and a swamp cooler? "

A gfi is a ground fault interrupt, a cutoff switch/circuit breaker built into a wall recepticle power plug.

A Swamp cooler is and evaportation cooler aka Legionaires disease breeder. These actually work quite well in dry desert climates. In semi humid areas they work not so well, and here in Lousyanna people would say WTF is that? It Boosts humidity??? Can I buy some pot from you?

Thank you for the clarification. We're certainly not looking for humidity boosters here in NWFL!
