WARNING:
IMMEDIATE DANGER ON PUBLIC BUSES

The Netiv Express bus company is requiring that all people who, because they receive various governmental subsidies receive a discount on public transportation, to take out a new computerized identity card with photos that they take of the passengers on the cards.

School children are now being forced to get these cards too in order to get their discount cards.

Every time you get onto the bus your personal information, photo, and exactly when you got on the bus will be transferred to a computerized database.

Even if Netiv Express are the friendliest Arabs in the world; it is DANGEROUS, DANGEROUS, DANGEROUS to allow them to have such a database. That database can easily be cracked and hacked and then a wealth of information about who is travelling, exactly which children photos and all, on exactly which bus lines and the exact time they get on the bus will be available to any and all interest.

I believe this is being done with the backing of the government all over the country. They are putting *all* people who ride on buses in more jeapordy than ever before. This is courting disaster.

PLEASE do not take out that card. Your lives are worth more than that discount.

I have been in touch with the newspapers and will be in touch with various goverment offices about this.

I have also been in touch with the cab companies in the town and asked them to make more sherut cabs available.
