D.O.D. Keeping Data On 30 Million Teens

In 1982 a law was passed that prevented the Defense Department from keeping data on anyone under the age of 17, to remove the data after three years and keep the data private. So why does it surprise anyone when we find out that they are breaking the law.

(AP/Yahoo)The Pentagon said last year the list includes high school students ages 16-18 and college students, and includes such information as the students' Social Security numbers, gender and race.

But wait, it gets better.

The current database includes information on 16-year-olds, is storing the information for five years and is being shared with law enforcement and other agencies, the lawsuit said.

I wish freedom was on the march in this country!
