"The US government has rules about what it can collect and put in it's own databases and use. Forward thinking people put careful rules in place preventing the government from legally playing big brother...

"Of course it has no such rules about what data in private databases it can in retrieve and use. The brownshirts can pretty much go in there and get anything they want anytime. Forward thinking people kind of had the blinders on about that one.

"Wow that Google toolbar sure is nice... ;)"

— Bob Beck, in a December 6th message [1] on the OpenBSD -misc Mailing list.
