[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2455629, member: 12952"] Home grown terrorists. [URL="http://moonbattery.com/?p=77834"]Moonbattery » Seattle Uses Data From Supermarket Discount Cards to Go After Unlicensed Pet Owners[/URL] Turns out for the last four years, King County ( WA. ) has been using data companies to target specific taxpayers, or in this case pet owners. That means every time customers swipe those rewards cards, they’re gathering data. “This is not King County going and grabbing this data, you know, big brother watching what you buy at the grocery store,” said Satterfield. Instead, the county said they pay the company who pays stores such as Safeway and QFC for access to customer data contained in every one of those reward card swipes. A King County letter that ended up in the mailboxes of thousands of pet owners is raising concerns over privacy. The letter told pet owners to license their pets or face a $250 fine. [/QUOTE]
