Interesting comment made my Edward Snowden girlfriend.

Maybe she know more than she's saying or he express his views to her and she was very impressionable.

“Really, Uncle Sam, you need to track just who is buying this medicine? I assure you I’m only going to be making the tiniest amount of illegal drugs with it and the rest will go to my flu-ridden partner (will the government bots pick up on sarcasm?) When did my every move become so interesting to Uncle Sam. Maybe it was when Mr. O announced that we call the government our federal family,” she blogged on Sept. 9, 2011.

1. Sounds like she's taking about Sudafed

Purchases of that are tracked. The effectiveness of that at sipping meth production is questionable.

2. yes... I agree... What did the OP take from this statement?

As an aside, I've always resented that my occasional purchase for migraine relief (in lieu of the far more expensive $$$$ imitrex or other prescription triptan drug) landed me on a state government database which is questionable in terms of the same HIPAA protections that would be required of other medical data.

That said, I do understand the intent in terms of METH containment.

4. showing an id for buying that type of drug

is regulated I believe by the state law, not the federal government. Why blame President Obama? Paranoia?

6. No. It is a federal data base run by the US Drug Enforcement Administration

Example:

7. It's a Federal program "voluntarily" entered into by pharmacies (nt)

5. That she, and most likely Snowden,

are one of those Ayn-worshipping, get-the-government-out-of-everything libertarians, who most likely didn't have a problem when all of this stuff was being done prior to 2008, but now feel their "freedoms been taken away" and must stand up to the tyrant that will enslave us all.

3. I know of a couple people in Missouri who got busted via that tracking process

Back from my country boy days, folks I haven't seen for 20 years- all went down hill with the meth train-
