Poetrooper sends us a disturbing article of Government intrusion into one’s personal information by volunteering your fingerprints at the Post Office. Yes, you now can submit electronic copies of you very own fingerprints for inclusion into the FBI’s data base. But fear not, Citizen! These prints are merely used for your convenience in researching your very own identity history summary check (IdHSC). Also known as a rap sheet. Whatever could go wrong?<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t all that long ago that the public was made aware of the huge privacy concerns with sharing your DNA with consumer genetic testing companies to find out your origins. One such concern was the ability of the federal government and law enforcement agencies to gain access to your DNA. As the public has become more aware of such privacy concerns, it seems strange that on Friday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced a new partnership with the United States Postal Service where customers like you can voluntarily provide them with their fingerprints while you\u2019re at the post office.<\/p>\n
Through a partnership between the #FBI and the @USPS, you can now submit your fingerprints electronically for an identity history summary check (IdHSC) while you buy stamps or mail packages.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The program is explained on the FBI website, found here: FBI.gov<\/a> Adding insult to injury, the FBI will charge a fee to provide you with your own data.<\/p>\n

Log on at your own risk, Citizen. Nothing to see here, move along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
