SFist pointed out a story in CQ Politics about the FBI using local grocery store sales records to identify potential security threats:
“The idea was that a spike in, say, falafel sales, combined with other data, would lead to Iranian secret agents in the south San Francisco-San Jose area,” the article states.
Aw, come on, guys, don’t stop there. Maybe the FBI should monitor toilets as well, so they can see who, exactly is eating, say, falafel. Sheesh.
