Excuse my scepticism, but are you pulling our collective legs? I know the US does some unbelievable daft things in the name of security, but having to give one's name in order to buy humus is just so incedibly silly, that I find it hard to believe. Can you provide a cite for that? The large stores here will give you a small discount on your grocery purchases, if you have a card from their store. The card is bar coded and directs the purchases of your sale to your own personal database. The database is of course for sale, so that when someone decides to sell widgets, there is a data base of previous widget buyers, and advertiser can aim their advertising at you. I don't use them, Admiral Poindexter can find out about me the hard way. Yes, I understand that, however do you have a (semi-)reputable cite about the humus buyers? (whack) It'd be a nightmare to oversight even if it did happen and I still have doubts that it did happen. There should be some sniff online if it did take place because there are implications of racial profiling and the potential for claims of victimisation based on purchasing. It'd be a minefiled and something that would be hard to hide and perhaps even more so in an environment of constant conspiracy theories. Nightmare indeed. It is more than rumored that the US has rows and rows, floors and floors, building after building of super computers that monitor every international phone call, every radio frequency, every email of the entire world. What! You do not watch science fiction? Hide what, the humus thing was on TV every other night eight years ago. Wouldn't want to share a link, would you? I don't doubt what you say, but my queries didn't solicit confirmation of the story. -- - Billy "When you give food to the poor, they call you a saint.
