We don't see eye to eye on Acxiom. I don't see it as a nefarious company, but one that does things like compiling phone books. Pepperbelly's girlfriend works for Acxiom, as a matter of fact and has stated as much, I believe. Nor do I believe improving airport security to be a bad thing. I do believe the Patriot Act and the infringement of civil liberties is a problem. But I don't think that we should go back to airport security as it was pre-911, nor would most Americans want us to.

I'm sure you can find all the threads where the Acxiom thing has been hashed and rehashed. It's been resolved to my satisfaction, if not yours.

If you're concerned about data mining, you would be more apt if you were to attack credit card companies and the cookies on your computer.

I don't mean to disparage your concerns about privacy, civil liberties, and data mining. But I don't share your concerns regarding Acxiom.

As a matter of fact, Clark's involvement was partly to ride herd on Acxiom to make sure they properly balanced privacy with security, if I'm not mistaken.
