I can't seem to find one. Wouldn't be the first CVE for a sex toy. Just sayin'....

If a large number of the readers here would contribute $5 to a fund, you could hire an amazing lobbyist that could actually get in congressional doors and get heard with a message.

If you all just complain, point fingers, and don't do anything, you're damn right it's only going to get worse until it crashes and burns.

Lobbyist will gladly take forward absolutely any message you want so long as they are paid. And they can get into places other than just Congress, too. They could get your message heard in agencies, state offices, etc.

You're a bunch of intelligent, opinionated people. Why on earth would you not organize a little and try to make a difference in the place where U.S. government funding for science is determined?

You honestly can make a difference if you use the rights tools to get heard. (Trust me, having worked briefly on the Hill, nothing gets attention like a flood of emails and calls on a topic or a really good lobbyist coming in the door with a lot of people behind them.)

Exactly! The techniques being taught to these folks is no different in general than those taught to people in loss-prevention jobs in every reasonably large store in many countries. What, you think there aren't people in department stores and so on watching people? Watching people's expressions, body language, etc., has been a part of law enforcement of many kinds for as long as there's been laws to enforce. I definitely prefer a live person to an algorithm in a system alerting guards that my walking path has been suspicious because I kept circling the same area (looking for my earring that just fell on the floor).

Besides, this is old news. This was being mentioned in 2004 during the time of the CAPPS II and TIA stuff.
