Lumped In

Security services have quietly acquired the details of every single person in the UK with access to firearms and put them on a database with known terrorists, it has emerged. [More]

When I was a club secretary 20 years ago, my plan was to "deep six" the club membership records in an unfortunate and ill-timed "hard drive crash" rather than turn them over if a request came in from an alphabet agency. That was during the First Paranoid Clinton Administration. It seems we will soon have cause for more concern with a new Paranoid Clinton Administration.

Nothing to see here; your digitized d/l photo and the print(s) you coughed up to get it are also in the state and national criminal databases. That's just 'real id' boys; and you thought it would only be used to catalog criminals....naive at the least.
