The Matrix

You remember the Matrix (not the movie, that was good). Cousin Bill sent a link to a great ACLU video showcasing its capabilities. Check the website....
Matrix would compile your personal information into a giant database that law enforcement agents and government contractors can use to search through information about your private life and investigate your activities.

Our elected officials must stop this program from being implemented. They also need to ensure that our federal tax dollars will not continue to fund such invasive initiatives.

According to news reports and internal government documents, the Matrix (which stands for “Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange”) is an effort to combine state government records, such as driver’s license information, with commercially available data to create a vast database capable of compiling and analyzing a profile of every American.

[...]

Only a handful of states are currently participating in this program. However, its implications are dire and we must ensure that our tax dollars are not being used to fund this dangerous program.

And watch the video.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
