update The Department of Homeland Security has named Claria, an adware maker that online publishers once dubbed a "parasite," to a federal privacy advisory board.

An executive from Claria, formerly called Gator, will be one of 20 members of the committee, the department said Wednesday.

"This committee will provide the department with important recommendations on how to further the department's mission while protecting the privacy of personally identifiable information of citizens and visitors of the United States," Nuala O'Connor Kelly, the department's chief privacy officer, said in a statement.

Any chance this a ploy to lure them somewhere where they can be thrown on a plane and shipped to Guantanamo Bay?

I doubt it. I mean gator was more invasive than anything the feds ever came up with.

The original link appears to be faulty. The real link to evidence of a sense of humor at DoHS is here.

Apologies.

Works for me, anybody else have problems?

Link works but it's not a Hallmark moment.

Homeland Security will have their hands full when the militant feminists get their hands on that one. I can smell the bra's burning now! :eek:
