Latest Revelations on the FBI's Data Mining of America 446

An anonymous reader writes "You probably already knew that the FBI was data mining Americans in the "search" for potential terrorists, but did you know that they're also supposed to be looking for people in the U.S. engaged in criminal activity that is not really supposed to be the province of the federal government? Now the feds are alleged to be data mining for insurance fraudsters, identity thieves, and questionable online pharmacists. That's what they're telling us now. What else could they be looking for that they are not telling us about?"

Well clearly you missed an important point:

These 'controlling agencies' need all the help they can get. Just because this is a crisis doesn't mean civil rights are thrown to the wind. Primary media outlets are fine at spreading generalized nonsense. But when it comes to critical local information, the slack must be picked up by independent groups like this.

The airwaves are already filled with false information, a low powered fm transmitter and a group of folks who want to help the situation are certainly not going to make anything worse.
