    Ya, but I'm not really happy with them knowing my credit card number weather they want to know what kind of porn I prefer or not. To me it is just a logical issue of trust. Anyone who I am confortable knowing a great deal about me should allow me to know a great deal about them. Anonomous information tracking isn't ethical in any scenario as far as I am concerned.

    There are many more problems you could encounter thanks to the USAPATRIOT act.

    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->ome of the fundamental changes to Americans' legal rights by the Bush administration and the USA Patriot Act following the terror attacks:

    * FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION:
    Government may monitor religious and political institutions without suspecting criminal activity to assist terror investigation.

    * FREEDOM OF INFORMATION:
    Government has closed once-public immigration hearings, has secretly detained hundreds of people without charges, and has encouraged bureaucrats to resist public records requests.

    * FREEDOM OF SPEECH:
    Government may prosecute librarians or keepers of any other records if they tell anyone that the government subpoenaed information related to a terror investigation.

    * RIGHT TO LEGAL REPRESENTATION:
    Government may monitor federal prison jailhouse conversations between attorneys and clients, and deny lawyers to Americans accused of crimes.

    * FREEDOM FROM UNREASONABLE SEARCHES:
    Government may search and seize Americans' papers and effects without probable cause to assist terror investigation.

    * RIGHT TO A SPEEDY AND PUBLIC TRIAL:
    Government may jail Americans indefinitely without a trial.

    * RIGHT TO LIBERTY:
    Americans may be jailed without being charged or being able to confront witnesses against them. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
