This is a non-issue. Perhaps one of the more obvious reasons to have computers is to sift through massive amounts of information to spot
inconsistencies....take another step....now by means of inference, you can pretty much tract anyone inside their home (if not in real-time...and after
all, how many instances is real-time monitoring necessary when taking in a larger populous?) by culling readily available consumer databases.
Don't believe me, go to Google and try purchasing this information either by posing as a telemarketer or by writing your own code.
It's time-consuming and in the end fairly meaningless, but it's fun! I'm sure there are members of this board who enjoy this past-time.
The thing I don't fully get about the fascination with this topic is this: who gets a kick out of knowing how often I buy the four-cheese deepdish at
Uno's? Who gets their knickers in a bunch everytime they see me ordering glue sticks from Staples?
C'mon. As far as I'm concerned, they have full access to my purchases of plutonium products and particle accelerators. They're even invited to my
next house party. It's like Tupperware, only with Russian firearms. I call it AT-Mary-K.
Free samples and fondue.
