A quote from the thread currently in Jet Blast:
Somehow the FAA got their hand on a list of all the people in California that has been issued a prescription for a list of certain medicines. These are medicines that means pilot should lose their medical. FAA then joined this list with their list of pilots, and tada pulled up some 200 people that appeared on both lists, ie current pilots with current medicals but who had received one of these medicines in the last 5 years.
All received a letter on their doormat asking them to explain.
It's this kind of large scale data mining that can be mega easy once we all have a SSN type number. Just join people who have bought a car worth more than £10K with people who declare annual earnings under £10K, and instantly find possible benefit cheats etc etc.
It isn't just about security and making Britain an illegal immigrant /terrorist free utopia. It's about control and how the government proposes to start exercising this control over its citizens by cleverly forcing a section of its workforce to submit to the forced introduction of this scheme under the guise of bettering the security of our nation, so that afterwards when they say it works the Big Brother will be watching every single one of us.
Sign the petition, forward it to your family and friends, get them to forward it to their friends let's at least put up some sort of fight, apathy will get us nowhere.
