There is no such thing as random information to the sort of computers that drive business these days. Acxiom found the 9-11 perps within days. The CIA, FBI, etc...not a clue. Who is Acxiom? They have massive amounts of info on just about everybody. Just about every thing you buy is recorded somehow. They have your credit card numbers, your social security numbers, your addresses, all the info you gave Sears, or Home Depot, or anyone else you have credit with. Use one of those little discount keyring cards at your local store? One of your retailer credit cards? A gas card? Buying ammo? What kind and where and how much is recorded. They have the computers that track almost every purchase made by most credit cards. Even Citigroup's massive info is theirs. If they want to know where you go, who you spend time with, what you buy, it's all there. They found the bad guys when our government couldn't. If Osama Bin Laden lived in this country, he could not hide from them and eat. I doubt their info is available for background checks. I'm just using them for an example of how we simply do not live in a private world any longer despite laws to the contrary. Read the info in the first link article and you will see what I mean.
