“Two-and-a-half years from now, in early 2009, the Census Bureau plans to send an army of 100,000 temporary workers down every street and dusty, dirt road in America. They will be armed with handheld GPS devices. Robert LaMacchia, head of the Census Bureau’s geography division, says they’ll capture the latitude and longitude of the front door of every house, apartment and improvised shelter they find. ‘We will actually knock on doors and look for hidden housing units,’ he says. ‘We will find converted garages; from the outside, it may not look like anybody lives there.’ But census workers will add each dwelling, legal or not, to the Census Bureau’s Master Address File. Recent proposed budget cuts have put part of this plan in jeopardy. But if Congress restores the money, the census will end up with the geographic coordinates — accurate to within 10 feet — for about 110 million residences.”

Any one getting that warm fuzzy feeling yet
Boys with their toys intruding on our rights. Contractors bribing politicians for our tax dollars. Privatizing functions that are paid by taxes is the root of the problems. Everyone involved ends up on the take except the taxpayers who get stiffed.
hunting and killing ... who?
