I was also forwarded an interesting video feed from Tony Pacheco, Kansas City Headlines Examiner. In it, staunch conservative Glenn Beck noted that when you log into the http://www.cars.gov/ website, it makes you agree to the following disclaimer:
“Any or all uses of this system, any or all uses of this system and all files on this system may be intercepted, monitored, recorded, copied, audited, inspected, and disclosed to authorized CARS, DOT, and law enforcement personnel as well as all authorized officials of other agencies, both domestic and foreign. By using this system, the user consents to such interception, monitoring, recording, copying, auditing, inspecting and disclosure at the discretion of CARS or the DOT personnel.”

If true, that is a bit frightening for the average Joe who never reads the fine print when cash is involved.
Anyone?

That quote only applies to DEALERS using the DEALER version of the website, making them de facto government contractors using government websites for government money.
On any State Department computer, using the State Department WebPASS program for inter-office procurement or motor pool requests, you get this text:
Quote:
Consent to Monitoring Warning:

Use by unauthorized persons, or for personal business, is prohibited and may constitute a violation of 18. U.S.C. 1030 and other Federal laws.

Furthermore, law enforcement officials may be authorized to access and collect evidence from this system. USE OF THIS SYSTEM BY ANY USER, AUTHORIZED OR UNAUTHORIZED, CONSTITUTES EXPRESS CONSENT TO THIS MONITORING. IF YOU DO NOT CONSENT, THEN DO NOT LOG ON.

Its no big deal. Big Brother is not using car sales to spy on you. They ARE using car dealers who are working with the government to sell you cars and stimulate the economy, and AS PER REGULATIONS, do have the ability (not necessarily the wish) to check their computers that are accessing the DoT servers. It's a security thing.
