Another point - if it had been any other company or organization that had engaged in this data collection, the ACLU would be suing them out of existence with a zeal that would make their jihad against the Boy Scouts look laid back.
I went to Penn State. I know what you mean.

Indeed, the Sith were reduced to 2.

Wait. Darwin also proposed how the *eye* would evolve. Surely this would shut out God indirectly. Right?

Ah, you had to ruin it, didn't you!!!! ;)
Why does the phrase 'There is no controlling legal authority that says this was in violation of law. ' come to mind? ( Al Gore to the press in the dialing for dollars fiasco )
Pretty amusing to see the degree to which the ACLU is tearing itself to shreds about this issue. Though I will say this - at least they do this research on their own donors. If you have not given money to them, you are left alone.
Regardless, this is small change, compared to what credit rating agencies have on us. Not to mention the banks, who finance our mortgages. When you purchase a home via a mortgage, the mortgage is sold (along with all your vital stats - SS#, monthly income, etc.) in a secondary market. Who knows where this information is going - but it sure is unnerving, the degree to which we sacrifice our right to privacy when we sign a home mortgage.

Here are a few examples of how two of those organizations are fighting back:
ADF Contacts Over 3,600 School Districts Over Attempts To Censor Christmas
ADF: 700 lawyers ready to fight ACLU lawsuits
ADF: Pentagons' Warning About Boyscouts Is Absurd
Thomas More Law Center: Town of Palm Beach Pays $50,000 In Attorney Fees Apologizes To Women In Nativity Lawsuit
