Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
WTF is wrong with our government? Do they think we are so stupid to believe that our govt needs the ability to track credit records of suspected terrorist in the middle east?
Terrorist do not go into a bank and ask for a loan to buy a bomb... Am I missing something here or is this just gay? http://www.usatoday.com/news/washing...-records_x.htm Quote:

Hmm... you sure seem to know a lot about how and how not to buy these types of things. Anything you need to tell us? |
Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
Personally I thinnk the Government should track suspected Terrorists anyway they can. Why do you care if they track suspected Terrorists anyway? :confused:

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
I will defer if you can give me one example of why a terrorist would use "credit" for his dirty dealings....

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
To keep track of expenses for tax purposes...
Wouldn't want him to go to jail for tax fraud before he had a chance to blow himself up would we?:twak: |
Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
ROFL again... how many terroist do you think are here in the USA using credit to buy things?
Amazing... |
Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
I definetely don't know. But try to buy a plane ticket or rent a car without one. More and more they are required.

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
I mean it's like a suicide bomber is gonna worry about his credit rating after he blows himself up.:p

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
Actually alot of people use cash abroad. Its mostly americans who use credit cards. And not to mention if you dont think they already get a list of people who board planes or are inbound to the USA via the airlines logbook you are mistaken.
I still cant think of a reason they need to look at our credit... Quote:

X3. If they think they have a good cover, they'll use a credit card at every opportunity (They're not worried about paying for a bill they'll probably never see.). Cash nowadays brings up the red flag depending on the amount. I've travelled quite a bit and I find most cultures nowadays use Credit instead of cash. |
Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
I don't care if they track CC payments. Hell, I'll give them mine if they ask nicely.

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
Its not CC payments..
Its really not that big of a deal - to me - most are missing the point.. oh well... Quote:

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
They can track the purchases of airline tickets. I don't want a suspected terrorist on my plane, do you?

What thread here doesn't go off track? It's part of the reason I like it here.:clapping: I get your point. But I can also look around at our society and see how clueless and volnerable we actualy are. Despite 9/11 there are still alot of people out there who think that nothing like that would happen to them. |

Doy!
They track credit cards because they are given to them by a "sponsor" group or individual. Most of them are pre-paid, like children off to college. Individuals and contract holders add cell members to an account and those purchases can track locations etc. I bet the hijackers used credit cards to but their plane tickets- and in that case the plane was a WMD. So their tactics are unconventional and therefore purchases may be. It's not so much the purchases but the activity. Quote:
And the big broad random searches don't yield much anyway. Data mining is not an invasion of privacy because it is programmed and run by super computers. If you think that every purchase you make isn't compiled into reports already you are sadly mistaken. Am I pissed that my "Food Lion MVP Coupon Card" on my keychain tracks what I buy? No. Hopefully, the store will carry more of the Tampax pearl variety. |
