.An "insider threat" program launched by the Obama administration two years ago requires federal employees to spy on each other using profiling techniques not proven to work, according to a new report.
Details about the program, first reported by McClatchy, have gradually been made public in recent weeks. It was apparently ordered in 2011 in the wake of security leaks by Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, and urges federal workers and contractors to look out for "high-risk" behavior -- and to report it.
But McClatchy reported Wednesday that it urges workers to use questionable techniques. It encourages them to flag a range of possible behaviors and circumstances, from financial problems to odd hours to unusual travel, according to the report.
McClatchy noted studies have found that "behavioral surveillance" is not scientifically proven to work and could result in illegal profiling

didn't Hitler and Stalin have a similar program for their citizens to spy on their follow neighbors and co workers
when did normal federal employees become qualified to spy on any one. do you know how many false accusations could and would happen
Its bad enough we have the NSA correcting phone call and email data. we have the IRS targeting you if you don't agree with the president. now your getting spied on by your fellow co worker if your a fed employee
Obama has the constitution hanging up in the WH bathroom so he can wipe his ass with it
Did he seriously compare the government testing its own security to ****ing Hitler?
Well, this governmental action is either trend setting or comparable to other historical examples.

Oh, for God's sake. A guy starts driving a Lamborghini to work. Give others a path by which that change in lifestyle can be reported to somebody. Honestly, people expect our Constitution to be used continuously to beat us over the head and knock us unconscious. What is the harm? I don't see any.

The real answer is that Obama is doing it. Therefore he is Hitler. Also you and I are Hitler for not thinking this is a big deal. Damn, and I just shaved my face like ten minutes ago.
because a program like that can me easily abused. for example. you and a co worker are both under consideration for a promotion to fill a vacant spot. you decide to notify your supervisor of suspicious activity by you co worker" he bought an expensive new car".
the consideration for promotion on your co worker is dropped because now he is under investigation. you get the promotion because the spot needed to be filled expediently. then much later after the lengthy FBI digging into his personal life they realize he saved that money for 10 years to buy that expensive car
did i compare Obama to Hitler? no i compared the program to being similar to what Hitler and Stalin did. Its up to the reader if they see fit to connect it to Obama being like Hitler or Stalin which is exactly what you did
Wait a minute. Are you suggesting that being passed over for promotion is comparable to Nazi Germany?
You invoked the Nazis while complaining about Obama. So, yes.
It's also not "trend setting." A government trying to maintain its own security is not a new concept.

So if it isn't trend setting, it is comparable to historical examples then, correct?
