Don't forget

"On second thought I can't say for sure if we are tested for alcohol. Can they tell from what you supply them in that cup?"

YES...that and a few more, like Meth..........My wife is a State Licensed "Sample Taker" (lol)...anytime a trucker was involved in a accident.......... /urine/blood would be taken..many nights I drove her the 50 miles at 3:00 to the Hospital where the driver would be waiting

Now they are debating if it's acceptable to take DNA from those innocent people that are arrested. Innocent because they have not had a trial and proven to be a criminal. DNA has a far reaching consequence and if only people knew what the implications are. They are NOW taking DNA from victims to use in a process that can eliminate there sample but is kept in a data base. When your DNA is taken your whole family's DNA in part of that sample. If your brother commits a crime they can arrest YOU.
So much for freedom. They already have our phone calls and email. What could they possibly want next?

If my brother commits a crime they can arrest ME? UM,,,,Don't think so? If that's correct then why stop there Al? Why can't they arrest my grandmother or my Uncle or my second cousin?

I am simply repeating what I heard on NPR a few days ago. If I can find it I can post a link. DNA can carry a lot. Including who you are related to. You may be arrested as I understand it but who knows what will happen from that point on. I can't answer your question as I know little more than anyone else and less than many. If a family member commits a crime and leaves their DNA and yours is in a data base it seems logical they would be coming your way. NO?

DNA samples can tell siblings and parents apart........

[Al Drake]

Yes that is true. If they know who the samples are coming from in the beginning it makes things very simple. If not then..................

I do know we are under the control of Homeland Security who paid us a visit last month along with the FBI. We have all new cameras everywhere so I am not sure of anything any more. We are told we could be a terrorist target due to the radioactive material we have on site. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgcxGFmYyPs

Poor you! I could never work in a place like that.

I don't feel that way at all. I love what I do. I like the above normal high wages and lax working environment. Not salary so I get time and a half OT which is unlimited. No time clock and no accountability for how long it takes to complete a project. Unlimited sick pay. No boss around to watch you. I can't think anything could possibly get any better. I work very hard without taking coffee breaks, I don't drink the stuff. The old guy( two of us in the shop) hangs around talking most of the day and does what he pleases which is hanging around talking all the time. I don't drink or smoke and couldn't be in better health and am as happy as a lark. Life is grand because I am the best at what I do. What could possibly be better? Our organization made a record monthly sales of over $7,000,000.

Oh ya, I am was born in the '40s and am proud of the excellent condition I'm in. I take no meds and plan on living forever.

Poor me? Not according to me.

The facts are that one organization is tracking us and has far more information that any government organization. Can anyone guess who that is?
