Nobody mentioned the general public having access, only specially-selected members of the government. If any random person could access my account, well I think I'd be going to another bank pretty quick. |

In the name of protection? Yes yes yes. You're arguing for the principle of the matter, I'm arguing out of national security reasons.
You have to do what you must, the ends justify the means. Really now, how much different is your life going to be? Actual question I want answered. |

Yes, but should the government have control of that? No no no no. |

And that still won't get you access to my bank account. 
Ah, yeah who cares if people get personal information? As long as they have to pay, then everything's a-ok! *thumbs up*
The last part, you make it seem like people's bank accounts are going to be public access to any and everyone.
http://www.usasbankaccounts4free.com will never be a reality.
Seriously, you're all panicking way entirely too much. 
EDIT: Yes I have used it, on myself. Had my SS number, home of record, my criminal history, etc. You can do a lot with an SS number. |

Have you ever used such a service?

A point that makes the last few posts irrelevant. |

With the new system, your bank account wont be controlled by Joe Somebody either.
"We're talking about a government database, it's a little different."
No, not really. It's called public record. You can find out practically anything about anybody on the internet. It's not that hard, at all.
EDIT: I'm sorry for flaming in this post. |

Leg, the web is full of crap. You can't just type in my name on Google and be able to control my bank account, or for that matter even find any information about me that you can be sure is true. We're talking about a government database, it's a little different. |

Nice postcount++ NSN. I would have never seen that. =D
I was voicing my opinion in a respectful manor as WELL. It's like calling people gay; is that really an insult? >8(
Stop overreacting Legion. You know I <3 you. e-drama is too lame for me to try and cause any of it on purpose. However if you'd like to meet up in real life, I'm sure we could start a soap opera. I'LL BE GRACE.
Let's get BACK on the TOPIC.
Edit: ziff, I was typing bet you thought there would be an insult here, DIDN'T YOU? . |

The bolded part would constitute a flame.
1. I thought we were dropping this for the other thread? No? 0_o
2. I'm sorry, but that's not a flame. It's an opinion presented in a respectful manner. Go ahead and look in the Xkeeper thread for my two version thing. That's the difference between flaming and forming a decent opinion.
Anything negative said does not always mean flame. Work with me here. |

Leg, this is an ongoing STAFF discussion within a disciplinary tracker file.
Don't take this onto the board.
You made a flame, plain and simple. Also, regardless of past transgressions, you too flame on a somewhat more than frequent basis. You are in no position to chastise me. |

You're in no posistion to tell me not to flame Ziff, seeings how you do it on a somewhat frequent basis.
But that's irrelevant seeings how I didn't flame in the first place.
Saying something negative about someone is not flaming. Blatantly insulting them in a childish manner on the other hand is. |

No more of this. At all.

You're evading the issue. Sure, paranoia could be used to make it seem like this isn't a big deal; however, what we DO know is quite unsettling. I suggest reading it. |
