Friday nite tin foil hat time
I can't help but wonder if there is some connection between
the NSA spying, and the increase in incidents of identity theft.

Could there be a correlation?
Think about it - all of our info is out there; and identity theft
is on the rise.

If a Homeland Security top official can be sitting there trying to seduce 14 year old girls, why wouldn't I think there are some major scumballs in the NSA?

:tinfoilhat:

:shrug:

3. No kidding - my hubby had fraud on his account
right before Christmas, and it came from Russia!

Used his debit card on the internet - big mistake.

2. personally, I don't think you need that hat,,,,
The more hands our information passes through, the better the odds of it happening,,,,

4. we already know.........
.....due to the Plame investigation that the govt cannot protect classified information!!

Why would we expect them to keep our information secure when they can't even protect our own agents?

I think it's extremely likely........

7. You Must Own A Lot Of Tin Foil.
It probably has gone up as more and more personal information is passed online and more scumbags have figured out ways to steal it. Is it still possible that the NSA is in some way also connected to the increase in identity theft? No. No. I'd have to say No.

9. That reminds me of my tinfoil hat moment
I'm in Idaho and last fall I recieved a letter from my place of work that they had accidently released our payroll info incl. #ss

So my sister who also works here tells me she too in the past 3-6 months got a letter that her place of employment accidently released their information incl. #ss.

... Who all here has gotten that letter?

10. Insider Trading and Industrial Espionage Would Be Far More Profitable
Edited on Sat May-13-06 12:36 AM by AndyTiedye
and the possiblities for those are endless,
for those who have access to the data.

Think about ALL of the financial data for EVERY company
in the hands of this bunch of crooks.
