"Fishy"? Now With Tracking, Too!!

It's only a full-reverse of privacy policy.

Since 2000, it has been the policy of the federal government not to use such technology. But the OMB is now seeking to change that policy and is considering the use of cookies for tracking web visitors across multiple sessions and storing their unique preferences and surfing habits. Though this is a major shift in policy, the announcement of this program consists of only a single page from the federal register that contains almost no detail.

Observant folks will notice that "since 2000" covered the entire BUSH Presidency.

Well, we got Change!
