Recent AP story...

Apparently, a recent Congressional investigation has revealed widespread
misuse of the National Crime Information Center. The most scandalous
case occured when an ex-officer found his ex-girlfriend using the system
and killed her. 

In other cases, the girlfriend of a drug dealer ran all the new recruits
through the system to see if they were undercover agents. In many cases,
private investigators accessed the data for a number of different 
purposes. 

It is interesting to note that all of the access was caused by
insiders (as a previous poster noted ). These are the people 
we're going to trust with the Clipper technology?

Can this be documented?  If so, this would be the most convincing arguement
against the Big Brother chip.  References anybody?  Thanx.
