If we were discussing Credit Cards there is a much stronger linkage to actual person vs card number and you and I would be in complete agreement.

The linkage is the same.

I have worked in printing for 26 years and know all about data mining in mail lists. I had access to the inner workings of Reader's Digest and their huge subscriber database. I too know the dangers of excessive data in the wrong hands.

You can get much more information from dial lists. If you and I call the same numbers, then we are associated somehow. By analysis of who is called, and who calls who, somebody can get a good idea of who your circle of friends are, and many other details about you

Reference Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin and every other non-paranoid conservative before you utter another hysterical uneducated ill-informed lib like rant.

[dogbyte12]

Conservative? Please. I am sure that you will just sit back and smile when they start keeping the gun owners lists too. Domino theory. Fourth amendment is inoperable, does that mean 5th, 1st and 2nd are sacroscant? How?

You are just a cheerleader. Free thinking is something foreign to you. KGB Conservatism at it's worst. I believe in freedom. If I wanted people snooping on me, I would move to Cuba.

You are a mental patient worthy of the Pelosi award for brilliance in perpetuity with special mention for the Conyers Medal of Honor.

Osama thanks you for your misplaced paranoia, your ill-informed rants, and your desire to cripple any attempt to defeat the enemy in hopes of protecting yourself against a fantasy intrusion of your privacy.

Tin foil hat s are on sale at Walgreens.

I suggest you invest in one. Your current model is old.

[dogbyte12]

Oh screw the enemy. I am not afraid of Osama so much that I wet my pants like a three year old whenever his name is mentioned. I am more likely to be hit by a bus. Ben Franklin said that those who sacrifice liberty in the name of security deserve neither.

You think that some crazy islamists require us to give up the bill of rights, even when communism never did. And, you call me crazy.

Boo, there is a terrorist under your bed. Let's draft a law so the FBI can check under your bed for you every night ya little sissy.

"It is still a search." No, it's not. The information belongs to the phone company, not you. They sell it to whomever they want. Qwest was only pissed because they weren't getting any money.
