He explained that he is under federal government, Homeland Security Department, requirement that he get full identity information on ALL purchases. What will he do with this information? he will help compare to HSD information and help them look for illegal people illegally buying things, illegally.Yes. You cannot buy without giving all you information and the record of the sale, with all these particulars, is held for Homeland Security. I am not kidding. This is real. Going on now.
He doesn't send the info in all the time. Mostly he just "has to have it on file"; are we safe yet?
What country is this, exactly, I am living in? The government is tracking my purchase of generators, --- taking pictures of me 10 times a week at tolls, banks, ATMs, wherever, and cataloging me? Really? So I can be safe? Safe from what?
The guy said that sometimes, they send the name not the database and the database spits it a bunch of Arab sounding names, and dates of birth, and the merchant is asked to see if it seems like a match as an AKA. In ESSENSE, the merchants have be me a little junior domestic counterespionage operation, while we happily buy exhaust manifolds for our motorcycles. Really?
Think about what was wrought on 9-11. The purpose of the attack was to disrupt and destroy our way of life. To make us live in fear, ripped to the point where we turn on each other, and give up our precious freedoms for "safety"
I don't feel at all safe, nor more safe, with the government tracking the details of my visit to a national park, my purchase of a generator and my withdrawal of some cash at a bank ATM, complete with pictures f me, my drivers license and the details of all I am doing. I feel frightened and oppressed and feel like I am inside a Milan Kundera novel from the late 60's as the Russians overran Chechoslovachia and....started tracking the activities f all citizens, and all they did, bought and said.
