    We need a new heading for posting these links. Something like "Spying" or "National Security" (or lack thereof).

    How is his head up his ass, given that people doing normal daily things get flagged as 'terrorists'? shockedcanadian's problem crossing borders may exactly be related to the sweeping dragnet that is the terror boogeyman. And the best part is; how many real terrorists have been caught this way? Because of the secret nature of FINTRAC, we peons aren't allowed to know.

    I know most people don't give two shits about things like the NSA, CSEC or FINTRAC surviellance programs, because it only happens to other people. Until it happens to them or someone they know, people will always be apathetic.

    Civil liberties advocates say that likely means that thousands of innocent Canadians have been put under a cloud of suspicion, lumped in with suspected money launderers and terrorist financiers.

    Stoddart's investigators found one case in which a Canadian bank filed a suspicious transaction report when a local shopkeeper deposited $570 in small bills.

    The bank gave no indication in its report what it thought was suspicious about a shopkeeper making that kind of deposit.

    The privacy investigation also found FINTRAC's files often contained more personal information than just details of a financial transaction.

    Those details included medical records and tax returns as well as copies of drivers' licences, passports, social insurance cards, credit reports and even employee training records.

    Officials say Canadians have no way of knowing if they have erroneously landed in this database of suspected terrorists and money launderers — and, by law, files cannot be erased for at least 10 years.


    Guantanamo bay for these people. :roll:

    I'm thinking (but obviously not certain) he's commenting on the request for a new News Section dedicated to "Spying". I do think Law & Order covers it enough.


    True enough.
