Caution: Cash for Clunkers and Your Computer

Hat tip: Lou Copes

UPDATE: Government removed the frightening disclaimer/user agreement presented in this video. The question now is, "Is the rescission retroactive to include information already gleaned from dealers' computers?" See the disclaimer [and stick it to the Car Czar]:

From Glenn Beck, 8/3/2009: When dealers logged in to apply for the cash part of the "cash for clunkers" program, the site cars.gov/dealership prompted them with the warning:

"This application provides access to the DOT CARS system. When logged on to the CARS system, your computer is considered a federal computer system and is property of the United States government... users have no explicit or implicit expectation of privacy."

"Any or all uses of this system and all files on this system may be intercepted, monitored, recorded, copied, audited, inspected and disclosed to authorized CARS, DOT and law enforcement personnel, as well as authorized officials of other agencies, both domestic and foreign."

"By using this system, the user consents to such interception, monitoring, recording, copying, auditing, inspection, and disclosure at the discretion CARS or the DOT personnel."

Why in God's name would you click "accept" to that?
