Newly obtained documents from the Obama-created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau reveal that the administration has OK'd a project to accumulate the personal financial data of some 5 million and share it with other agencies to build a "nationally representative panel of credit information on consumers for use in a wide range of policy research projects."

In Utah, they also swipe your DL when you enter a bar or order alcohol at a restaurant. Then, they have the info about what and how much you had to drink, if the police pull you over or you’re in an accident.
Never heard of your driver’s license being swiped at the bank. They did it to me at Best Buy for an exchange and I ripped the clerk a new one.
Wanna bet that 5 million grows? Say you work for Jones Construction. Well, now the gov will claim they need Mr. Jones’ records. They see that Mrs. Jones, who filed joint tax returns, is self employed as a housekeeper 10 people. Now the gov will want the records of each of those 10 people because they paid her, etc., etc., etc. No one is safe from prying eyes.
