Life in the fishbowl
Federal law enforcement agencies have been tracking Americans in real-time using credit cards, loyalty cards and travel reservations without getting a court order, a new document released under a government sunshine request shows.

Kinda makes the whole “WikiLeaks is guilty of irresponsible journalism” thing pale in comparison.

Them tracking us is the opposite of the way it should be:
“It is not the function of the government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.”— U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H.Jackson
“For in a Republic, who is “the country?” Is it the Government which is for the moment in the saddle?Why, the Government is merely a servant – merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn’t. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them. “– Samuel Clemens, a.k.a. Mark Twain (American author)
Do cash transactions,convert your at seome of your FRN’s to hard money which if even some of us did, the banking system may collapse. But hey, maybe that would be a good thing:
“The Central Bank (it’s called the Fed now) is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the principles and form of our Constitution…if the American people allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.” –Thomas Jefferson
