Beck Exposes 'Cash for Clunkers' Language Giving Feds Authority to Take Control of Computers
‘This application provides access to the DoT CARS system. When logged on to the CARS system, your computer is considered a federal computer system and it is property of the United States government,'"
Continuing to read from the laptop on his desk, Beck read. "‘Any and all uses of this system and all files on this system may be intercepted, monitored, recorded, copied, audited, inspected, and disclosed to authorized CARS, DoT and law enforcement personnel, as well as authorized officials of other agencies, both domestic and foreign.'"
I suggest that you read this last paragraph again. In the article By Jeff Poor [(Bio | Archive)] written onJuly 31, 2009 - 21:09 ET for NewsBusters, Kimberly Guilfoyle, a legal analyst for Fox News interpreted the language to mean the government has very broad authority over your computer - including the ability to seize personal and private information.
"Could it be any more broad or frightening?" Guilfoyle said. "Here you are trying to be a good citizen and make a charitable contribution, do something that's good and guess what - they are jumping right inside you, seizing all of your personal and private information and it's absolutely legal Glenn."
Guilfoyle also said legally the government can use Web software to track your computer any time they want once you've logged into the site.
"They can continue to track you basically forever," Guilfoyle said. "Once they've tapped into your system, and the government of course has like malware systems and tracking cookies - they can tap in any time they want."
