Safeguard Mass Public Transportation: Every weekday, Americans take 34 million trips on public transportation systems to get to work, school and beyond. Obama and Biden will fight for greater information-sharing between national intelligence agents and local officials and provide local law enforcement agencies with the everyday tools they need to protect their transportation systems.

Random searches for everyone! YAY!!! :bunchies:

Improve Airline Security:
"Airline passengers are still not screened against a comprehensive terrorist watch list. Such a list must be developed and used in a way that safeguards passengers’ privacy while ensuring the safety of air travel."

Safeguard Public Transportation:
Every weekday, Americans take 34 million trips on public transportation systems to get to work, school and beyond. Even though recent attacks have happened on public transit in Madrid, Mumbai, and London, the Bush administration has invested only a small fraction of the $6 billion that transportation officials have said is necessary to implement needed security improvements. Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe that this critical hole in our homeland security network must be addressed. They will fight for greater information sharing between national intelligence agents and local officials and provide local law enforcement agencies with the everyday tools they need to protect their transportation systems. As a U.S. Senator representing Chicago, IL, one of the nation’s major rail and air transportation hubs, Obama has consistently advocated stronger rail and transit security programs. Obama and Biden will push for increased patrols and explosive detection canine teams to deter and detect possible attacks on our nation’s public transportation systems.

This gem as well:



Lower Health Care Costs by Investing in Electronic Information Technology Systems: A key feature of Barack Obama and Joe Biden's health care plan is the use of health information technology to lower the cost of health care. Most medical records are still stored on paper, which makes them difficult to use to coordinate care, measure quality, or reduce medical errors. Processing paper claims also costs twice as much as processing electronic claims. Barack Obama and Joe Biden will invest $10 billion a year over the next five years to move the U.S. health care system to broad adoption of standards-based electronic health information systems, including electronic health records

What do you want to bet it will be a Government owned database these are stored in?

Barack Obama will invest $10 billion a year over the next five years to move the U.S. health care system to
broad adoption of standards-based electronic health information systems, including electronic health records.
He will also phase in requirements for full implementation of health IT and commit the necessary federal
resources to make it happen.

Also found this part re-assuring:

To ensure that powerful databases containing information on Americans that are necessary tools in the fight against terrorism are not misused for other purposes, Barack Obama supports restrictions on how information may be used and technology safeguards to verify how the information has actually been used.

Glad to see that databases on Americans are necessary to fight terrorism....

California ban mandatory RFID implants, Wisconsin and North Dakota Ban Forced RFID Chipping..

Do you have a source for the "california ban" ? I thought that the bill passed the legislature but was never signed by the governor but I could be wrong, (hopefully I am wrong and it was signed into law)
