If you read more carefully, I'm talking about websites not a physical location.
In regards to the comment previous to this, isn't that website available to ALL the world to see? It is not as if anyone is hacking passwords to these websites (that I know of).
To the rest of those that dislike or cry foul that civil liberties and innate rights are abused or misused:
You can not have it both ways at the same time. Extreme security and complete freedom.
With complete freedoms comes the openings that can be used to terrorize us/you/them.
With extreme security you have a loss of some freedoms but are able to sleep at night knowing that there is not going to be another huge report about another tragedy on the scale (or larger) than 9/11.
I am certain the US government is trying to find a happy medium. As stated before it is just a matter of time, trial and error, until it comes about.
One thing to consider is this please: If you had never heard of this, if you had/have never been affected by this, would it matter one whit to you? I think the inly people that have anything to be worried about are the ones that plan to do something illegal or terroristic in nature.
On the statement(s) about the word recog program: Yes, it is available and used.
Are they going to just come to your home and snatch you up for one conversation? Not likely.
Will they do a quick background check to find out about you? Probably.
Will you ever know they did a background check? Not likely. (Considering if you have ever applied for any type of high end/sensitive job you have likely had a relatively thorough background check anyway.)
Will this all dissipate and we have an whole nother gripe, complaint, concern or comment in another few weeks or so? Most definitely.
So I say to you my fellow forum members, take a step back, get a breath of fresh air and relax.
This too shall pass.
Don't ask me who said it 'cause I dunno.
