    They get the kids to write reports on their family members. These are downloaded and become part of a database.

    Oh it's ok though, it's all for our safety:rolleyes: Like the naked body scanners.

    You know. I realize that there are a lot of crazy things our government does but I just find this pretty hard to bite on. They'd be pretty darn bored getting info on me. As far as cell phones, mine has a feature that can turn off gps tracking.
    Why exactly would the government care about what 99.9% of the population is doing? How would anything that massive be handled?

    Disabling GPS tracking on your phone does not disable it as you think. All that is doing is preventing any 3rd party app installed on your phone from using your location information. The phone carrier/911/Government(with a legal court order)/etc can still use GPS to locate your phone. You can't turn that off. Plus, there are many other ways to track a phone other than GPS.

    And spy software preinstalled on school computers? :rofl: For the many school systems I worked at before I took a Fed job, it was miraculous if we had enough money to put PowerPoint on there. :rofl::rofl:
