When did this get passed, and what else was made illegal? Paintball guns? Pellet guns? Rocks? Or only rocks in a sock? Tim is only too right -- this country is totally fucked.

No wonder the Greens have such a backasswards view of so many things. Heinlein's quote below is especially appropriate. --Tim May "Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity." --Robert A. Heinlein

AP: New scrutiny of sale of dead people's SS#'s

New scrutiny of sale of the dead's Social Security data November 7, 2001 Posted: 8:39 PM EST (0139 GMT) <http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/11/07/inv.selling.dead.numbers.ap/index.html> WASHINGTON (AP) -- The federal government's practice of selling personal information about dead people -- including their Social Security numbers -- to anyone is getting a closer look after investigators determined that all 19 terrorist hijackers obtained numbers. The Social Security Administration has been required to compile its Death Master File since a 1980 court settlement that in essence said dead people do not have privacy rights. Identifying information, including Social Security numbers, must be made public under the Freedom of Information Act. The Death Master File contains 66 million to 70 million records with verified and unverified death reports, and includes Social Security numbers, full names, date of death, date of birth, state, county and ZIP code of the last known address. "As it is now, anybody in the world can go and buy that information," said spokesman Tom Tobin. The issue will be discussed at a hearing Thursday of the House Ways and Means Social Security subcommittee. All 19 terrorist hijackers involved in the September 11 terrorist attacks had Social Security numbers, and 13 obtained them legally, the Social Security Administration has said. It is unclear how the other six obtained their numbers. "People are making the speculation that did the terrorist get the numbers from the Death Master File? My personal guess is that, no they didn't," Tobin said. "There are a whole bunch of other ways to come up with fake identities. There are things that you could do with that file, and that might be one of them." Social Security obtains the information about deceased beneficiaries from family members, funeral homes, states, other federal agencies and financial institutions, and matches it to payment records to terminate benefits. That information is shared with other agencies to match their own records. It also is provided monthly to the Commerce Department's National Technical Information Service, which sells it to the public on a disk or file at a cost that reimburses Social Security for providing the information. More than 100 public and private institutions and companies such as banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, subscribe to the information, according to SSA information provided by Democratic congressional staffers. Subscribers include Web sites, such as Genealogy.com, Edata.com and Ancestry.com, and other businesses including Bank One, National City Bank, Cigna, EDS, Caterpillar Inc. and Lockheed Martin. A monthly subscription is $2,760 in North America, and a monthly international subscription is $5,520, according to the Commerce Department's Web site. Quarterly subscriptions are available for $6,900 in North America and $13,800 internationally. SSA sends the Death Master File to the Commerce Department via Federal Express but is considering transmitting the information electronically, SSA officials have said.

I've actually given this one some prior thought, and what worried me was that the delivery system (some type of water gun) would not likely be reliable enough to not get the crap all over the user as well as the target. And to tell you the truth, in the concentrations you would want to use as a weapon, you better be goddamn *certain* you don't get any of it on you while you're busy spraying the bad guys... ==================================================================== Yes, that's the problem isn't it. A common squirt gun wouldn't work, especially since DMSO is the universal solvent. A high-tec squirt gun could be built, pressurized by CO2 perhaps. Or paintball guns could be adapted with thin glass balls.
