Your furnace repair man sees your son's science project in the basement and reports that you are running a meth lab.
Your telephone repair man sees a book on your coffee table about the Muslim world and reports you as a terrorist threat.

If that’s the case, you really don’t have a lot to worry about. You’d have every repair man, utility worker and truck driver in the country calling in 10 – 12 tips a day, all completely useless that would go into a huge, database, so polluted with misinformation, it wouldn’t be of use to anyone.

You're right about the confusion TIPS will cause. Most entries will never be followed up. But every entry will be in your records both in Washington and locally, and kept forever. And you won't be aware of it or be allowed to check your record. Wait until you or your son needs a security clearance.

If any aspect of this program had been mentioned while Clinton was President, every Freeper would be going apesh!t.

Just remember these three terrifying words: President Hillary Clinton. One day there will be a power-hungry Democrat President, and all of the police state type powers now being given to President Bush will be available to that person.
