A RAND study was done in the 1970's to look at the best way to create and control a dictatorial government, one that can follow the subjugated people's every move. They looked at all manner of secret police, paper-based tracking, etc.

Their conclusion: use credit cards

Eventually, it is claimed by Robert Metcalf, there will the "the end of privacy", where interconnected databases and networks will allow knowing or deducing anything about anyone.

The government may already be there; but the real concern should be this: the Government should not operate in secret.

Ever look at your credit history? One third of all credit records have errors of omission or comission. Our government records should be mandated by law to be available to each of us - no secret records, our personal ones, nor our servants in Washington, the Presidency and Congress. This attempt to destroy records or keep secret the inner workings of our officials is un-American, but seems to be the way this administration wants to proceed.
