Big Brother IV

In the latest report involving the infringing on privacy and collecting personal information, the government is now collecting and archiving information about U.S. citizens crossing border check points – information that “may be used in criminal and intelligence investigations,” according to the Washington Post.

This report comes just three weeks after another detailing how new policies allow for federal agents to confiscate laptops (and numerous other information “containers”) of ANYONE entering the country, including American citizens. That info can then be shared with other government agencies and private entities.

One wonders if these policies will continue to be in place with a new presidential administration.
