"A warning box comes up, and it says, ‘This application provides to the DoT CARS system. When logged on to the CARS system, your computer is considered a federal computer system and it is property of the United States government,'" Beck read. "‘Any and all uses of this system and all files on this system may be intercepted, monitored, recorded, copied, audited, inspected, and disclosed to authorized CARS, DoT and law enforcement personnel, as well as authorized officials of other agencies, both domestic and foreign.'"

So much for the 4th amendment to the constitution.

Does running Firefox on Linux prevent this?

What is the difference between “logged on to the CARS system” and simply visiting the website?

I doubt that this will have any significant impact on the political right. Few, if any, of us would be visiting such a web site anyway.

Extremely disturbing..

Even some of my liberal friends may have an issue with this... Both sides should unite and expose this...

If I were a car dealer, I would use a brand new computer, with nothing on it except for what was needed for this program. After finishing with the program, I would wipe the hard drive.

Perhaps at least a FEW people are finally beginning to catch on. Hussein-care has absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTH! it has everything to do with total control of your every move, your every decision, every moment of every day, right up until your government-mandated euthanasia!

Cash for clunkers. What a crime against taxpayers. I wonder...have they thought of simply flying over America and kicking $100 bills out the tail of a C-17?

We won't have to worry about our computers once Obama takes all the clunkers and makes us drive his 'Smart Car'.

[allmost]

They’re really screwing with the dealers in this program.

[PLMerite]

How many times is this going to get posted before people realize it’s b.s. ?

The warning is when car dealers with accounts on the gov’t system log in. It’s pretty much the standard warning on all gov’t systems.

[FreedomGuru]

Hey its a cost saving method, now all they have to do is take the smart car and drivers remains and bury it. Obamacare at your service.

[potlatch]

True. Looks like the best employment in the future will be the mortuary business. Can I say, “they'll be popping up all over”, lol.

[BerryDingle]

How many unofficial Czars has he got from Chicago now? They don’t have to answer to anyone.

[Salvation]

I bet a lot of people don’t know this.

[Caribou]

Bookmarked

Looks like Obama pre-crushed the wrong Clunker-Car

[potlatch]

Nothing was said about ‘who was in that car’!!

Most likely, logging in requires the creation of an account, complete with username and password.
