The Patriot Act, I surmise, has created some new laxity with infringing on
Americans' rights to privacy, but that wasn't in until some time after the 9/11
attack!

And, Seisint, Inc., being a private business, wouldn't have the allowances
granted by the Patriot Act, so their accessing law enforcement records was
certainly not legal!

I wonder if their clients, whose info was in Seisint databases, knew that
Seisint feels they(Seisint! have unlimited rights to use/share their personal
info!
