Hidden in Obamacare Site: Applicants Surrender Right to Privacy
  • the fact that you are giving up your right to privacy is hidden in source code that reads, "You have no reasonable expectation of privacy regarding any communication of any data transmitted or stored on this information system."

    During his questioning on this specific issue, Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) only received chilling answers and deflections from the primary contractor responsible for the site. When he asked Cheryl Campbell of CGI about it, icy response was that another contractor was responsible. After some pressuring, she admitted that she was aware of the hidden source code.


I suspect that the hidden source code may be just some attempt at clever butt covering from the White House, in case a hacker gets in and starts stealing identities. However, if that's the case , that still tends to be an admission of just how incompetent the roll out of the site was, in terms of how it works.
