Feds Warrantlessly Tracking Americans’ Credit Cards in Real Time

[mrjarrell]

Looks like the government has been invading peoples privacy again, all without warrants and court orders. I like how Radley Balko put it.

(But don’t violate the government’s “privacy,” or people will start calling for your death.)

Plenty of hypocrisy going around these days.

No CC's for me. Guess I am on one less list.

They're using store loyalty cards to track purchases, too. As well as travel reservations. They've got their paws everywhere.

The above information should not be a surprise and will only get worse.

Cash is King, Money orders are next in line.

Ya, it's a pain but showing your hand for some purchases
should not even be an option.

LOL. Quoted for truth.

Is this not an act of terrorists?

What about check writing? It's just as much an electronic transaction as a credit card purchase these days. Or debit card purchases? Or debit card purchases run through as the credit purchase?

Is the immediate connection to the personal bank account keeping those transactions safe....for now?
