Knowing Obama, this could be a Trojan Horse method of gaining more access to OUR information, such as what sites you visit, where you do online shopping, banking and conduct online financial transactions.

In 1933, FDR ordered the confiscation of all gold from individuals who owned more than $100 worth. I would'nt put it put it past this regime to do something similar by gaining access to our assets via the internet, not only in terms pf gold but other assets like land, commodities, etc...Not to mention a person being put on a "Watch List" based on the sites he/she visits.
