Is Big Brother Watching?--From way up there?

Of all things to put a spy device on, an article on Yahoo today says that defense workers are warning about coins--yes, simple pocket change, may be carrying spy devices to track movements.

Of all places to point at for spying though--Canada. Actually they don't know WHO is doing the spying. They think the coins are/were aimed at US Contractors with security clearances. The coins are Canadian however, and supposedly carry itty bitty transmitters inside them.

Well you know what that means, right? I mean what stupid espionage tactics that is anyway if their real goal was to track those contractors. Everyone knows Americans can't hold on to their money. That change has probably changed hands so much that whoever is tracking them is probably watching some little old lady in Idaho do her wash.

Why do you think we call our one and two dollar coins "loonies and toonies"?

LOL I didn't know that, but the person who came up with the concept of 'bugging' coins should be called looney tooney--what a stupid way to try to track someone with something that changes hands so easily.
