Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Govt Recordkeeping NFC OT No Ferrari Content

[Michael James (cavallino_rapante]

True dat.....you'd be surprised the amount of data the FBI gets 'for free' from 
pretty much every communications link out there....and it all goes to ROOMS 
full of Servers/Database Storage Complexes.  Been that way for....I dunno, 
since the Telephone Companies have been keeping records?  Who do you think GETS 
those records????
 
Every Phone Call.
Every Financial Transaction.
Every Credit-Card Swipe at a Gas Station.
Your Cell Phone (might as well be a Homing Beacon - I'm not kidding)
Web Traffic.
 
They don't need a search warrant - the data is SENT TO THEM from the Telco 
Providers without asking, as a matter of 'courtesy'.  There is legislation 
in-place (passed during the War On Terror/Patriot Act push) that makes the 
Telco Providers immune from Legal action for providing the 'free data' to Uncle 
Sam.  I don't know the full extent of every database, but I used to work within 
the Jay Edgar Hoover building during the FBI's move to upgrade their Server 
farms.  The mountains of data they have access to is immense (and alittle 
scary, if they're looking for YOU) - their current challenge is to create 
'links' to pieces of data for creating virtual casefiles.  With all that data 
available, it is incredibly difficult for anyone to 'piece-together' everything 
they have access to.  All of the data is currently 'stove-piped', but if you 
think they don't have access, you'd be wrong.  They have it already, and 
they've been getting that data for years and
 years.  They just don't 'advertise' that they have it, so Average Joe doesn't 
go screaming about 'privacy'......surprise, you don't have any.
