Homeland security database a perfect tool for stalkers

This story represents a perfect example of why the government needs to be limited in its power and why our privacy as citizens needs to be protected. Benjamin Robinson, a 40-year old government agent from Oakland, CA within the Department of Commerce, has been charged with illegally accessing a Homeland Security Database in order to stalk his ex-girlfriend and her family. His indictment by a federal grand jury in San Jose this week was in connection with allegations that he accessed the Treasury Enforcement Communications System (TECS) over 163 times to track the woman�s movements.

1. Dur!

What did everyone think it was for? There aren't any terrorists in America that aren't on our payroll, so the pervs spend their time stalking women with their real-time surveillance.

"I call the hot blonde on screen #2644!"

"I saw her first! Paws off!"

"Anyone have any cheetos?"
