Some background information.

Glenn Beck exposes a privacy agreement on the "Cash for Clunkers" website that in part reads: "This application provides access to the DoT CARS system. When logged on to the CARS system, your computer is considered a Federal computer system and is the property of the U.S. Government."

Glenn and the Judge both raised the question of arethose who already signed the waiver excluded from its enforcement.

Must have been some flames in all that smoke if Obama had to backtrack on C For C web page

effective journalism.

I like Glenn but what he exposes scares the hell out of me, and I don’t scare easily.......

If one’s computer had been seized by Obama’s DOT, what would the signs be? I ran Spybot which turned up nothing after I poked around on that site just out of curiosity.

they have taken the web page down and are changing the wording.

Exactly what does changing the wording do?

Do freepers know about the NX bit and 64 bit Windows 7 using these two things to block about 98% of the viral ways you load your computer with nefarious stuff?

Never ever run as an administrator user. Always use a 'standard user' for your browsing.

Of course if you click the "accept" button, you are in trouble.

“A security warning on the CARS.gov dealer support page that stated computers logged into the system were considered property of the federal government has been removed. We are working to revise the language. The language was posted on the portion of the Web site accessible by car dealers and not the general public.”

Oh... I feel much better now. They are changing the “language”, but does that mean they are still going to “Twilight Zone” your computer?

[CPT Clay]

alright

[charmedone]

They are taking down the web page but those logging on will still sacrifice their computer. Lying ba$tards!!!

If you are reading this be advised that I, isthisnickcool, now own your computer, everything in it plus that old Beatles 45 you have of "Hey Jude" in the attic. Oh, and if you have any mid 70's motocross bikes in good condition? Those are mine too. Especially CZ's, Makos, Husky's and Penton's. No Suzuki's though, I don't want them, keep em! Oh, add Bultacos to that list of what I own of yours. Especially any factory Pursangs.

Wow, this is easy. I'll be over to collect my stuff from you soon.

Fox News Blunders on Cash for Clunkers Privacy

I kept asking myself why the mention of foreign agencies...and the only thing I could think is that the admin might use foreign agencies to get around FOIA requests.
