Yawn

When using a network owned and operated by the federal government, federal employees have zero expectation of privacy. This is elementary. Monitoring the traffic on such networks is a common sense and fool proff mechanism for maintaining information security and preventing unauthorized use of government resources.

The only reason congressmen are objecting to this proposal is that they DO look at porn at work.

This isn't about just Federal Employees

Think befire you post.

However, the Payday Loan Reform Act, currently making its way through Congress, has some critics, some of which are respectable business authorities, who insist that it will leave consumers with alternatives that aren't exactly palatable. Studies have indicated that at least 50% of payday loan users considered credit cards and other options first. This means that the same banks responsible for the financial collapse and recession stand to gain a monopoly through the <a rev="Vote for" title="Payday Loan Reform Act Leaves Customers with Bad Alternatives" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/04/14/payday-loan-reform-act-leaves-customers-bad-alternatives/">Payday Loan Reform Act</a>, which is not a reform most people would be for if they thought about it.
