Recruitment database

Finally this hits the news in the US - and it has been a while coming. Back in July last year there was a small item in the media about a database that was being assembled by independent contractors for the US Defense Department. It held details of high school students and was to be used for recruitment purposes.
Seems someone has now cottoned on to this and a federal lawsuit was filed Monday which claims that the Defense Department is violating the privacy of millions of high school students nationwide through use of the database.
