How do you know they are not related.

Because academics know EVERYTHING.

Let's not talk about the links between financial fraud, drugs, and terrorism. Of course they're related...

The majority of my forensics cases involve one or more of the above "unrelated" wars. The FBI is mostly clueless when it comes to these different types of fraud, but the Secret Service most assuredly is not.

Anyone who feels compelled to complain about privacy should feel free to move to Australia - you can't take $10.00 (AUS) out of an ATM without the government knowing it. In the USA, we have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to complain about.

WOW! How quickly these threads go off-topic... :-)
