Found this while I was browsing the web. I don't know if it is true or not, tell me your thoughts.

It's true. I first heard about it in a TV special on CNBC titled "Big Brother, Big Business".

They has something like that on CSI:Las Vegas or one of those spin off shows.

i see nothing wrong with it. all it really is is a method to allow for the tracking of those sending threatening letters, i cannot even think of a way for the government to abuse this, as most letters are not sent anonamously.

this wouldn't be so bad if they'd have just told us. instead, they just slip it in under our noses. thus, there's reason for us to be angry. this isn't anything as serious as the AT&T mass internet sniffing, but this is definitely a gateway.

This information is the result of research by Robert Lee, Seth Schoen, Patrick Murphy, Joel Alwen, and Andrew "bunnie" Huang.
