The Citizens' Protection in Federal Databases Act
posted by scubacuda on Wednesday July 30, @10:29AM
from the fishing-expedition dept.
privacy Wired & /.: Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has introduced The Citizens' Protection in Federal Databases Act: if the the Pentagon, CIA, Treasury, and Homeland Security Dept don't file a report about the extent to which they use their (or other agencies') databases for commercial use, they will lose funding. Says David Sobel of the EFF, "This bill is very real, even though there are no co-sponsors yet. But I have every reason to think there is enough concern about data mining and the use of commercial databases that this bill will get traction."
