Okay, some people probably don't believe the government is requiring companies to spy on us. But here's some evidence I have, directly from where I work. I work at a company that does life insurance exams, and as I was preparing something to be mailed, I noticed of the corner pages said "USA Patriot Act."
Here's what it says:
".."IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR APPLYING FOR AN INSURANCE POLICY OR ANNUITY CONTRACT"
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions, including insurance companies, to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account, including an application for an insurance policy or annuity contract.
What this means for you: When you apply for an insurance policy or annuity contract, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents."
That second paragraph is a load of CRAP. What is MEANS is that the government is recording people who get life insurance. You have to provide all that information to the insurance company REGARDLESS of the Patriot Act or not. It's saying that information is going to the government.
Wow.
Just... Wow.
