> Postal Service Won't Join TIPS Program Wed Jul 17, 3:57 PM ET > By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID, Associated Press Writer > WASHINGTON (AP) - The Postal Service has decided not to take part in a > government program touted as a tip service for authorities concerned with > terrorism, but which is being assailed as a scheme to cast ordinary > Americans as "peeping Toms." "The Postal Service had been approached by > homeland security regarding Operation TIPS; however, it was decided that > the Postal Service and its letter carriers would not be participating in > the program at this time," the agency said in a statement issued Wednesday. I have read that the Postal Service changed its mind. http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/07/18/operation.tips/index.html btw: for those who are interested a list of comments and articles about the TIPS-programm (the comments are German but the regarding news start with Ashcroft-Plaene): http://stop1984.com/index2.php?text=news.txt&date=20020717 http://stop1984.com/index2.php?text=news.txt&date=20020721 Twister <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
