    Karen - Do you know of a website where the provisions of the act are
    summarized in unemotional, simple language, so we know what we're
    really up against? 

    For 30 years I've been digging my heels in over such invasions of
    privacy as everyone and their brother demanding a social security
    number for everything from check cashing to utilities accounts.  I
    refused to give my SSN 20 years ago in AL when it was mandatory for
    a driver's license (notice how it's now become a concern?).  I
    always said, What if Joe McCarthy had had computers???  People
    laughed at me then, said, "What are you afraid of?"   Now they know. 

    Well.  Enough of the rant.  I knew Orchidians would be interested in
    this development.
