    Thanks Carrie for this very scary article

    RH: BeNow, Inc. of Wakefield, Mass. is a data collection firm hired by the DOD to provide them with information on American high
    school students. Everything from their social security numbers, their grade point average, what video games they buy, ect. It is paid for by U.S. tax payers.

    MG: In order to better recruit them?

    RH: Yes.

    MG: Your organization, the Truth Project provides documents for students to opt out of being recruited.
    Does it work?

    RH: Yes, but its up to the individual student to getthem and file them. To go around that the DOD is
    simply purchasing the same info through companies like Be Now or other data collection firms.

    MG: Lets talk about surveillance. You don't as of yet have the hard evidence as you've filed for that under
    FOI. What is the soft evidence?

    RH: Well, for instance, when you pick up your phone there is at first, no dial tone, then you say into the phone, "I want to make a call" and the dial tone comes on. In addition, when you are engaged in a telephonecall the audio tone changes throughout the call.

    MG: You mentioned your website.
