Maybe not totally apropos to this discussion; however, I worked in
"traffic analysis" for several years. If given enough leeway, you would
be amazed at the information you can gather about an individual, and at
its astonishing accuracy rate.

about certain individuals than they would believe possible, or want
known. Its all in knowing (and having the proper equipment and
authority) in where to look.
