Synopsis

Only half of this book is a how-to guide, while the other half is a political polemic on the intrusion of government and business into the privacy of American citizens. Alongside suggestions to "double-wrap" your mail and refusal to show identification cards whenever possible, the author (a former U.S. military man) complains about the way companies and government collect and share information about consumers and citizens. The author is coming to the material from a right-wing libertarian perspective, but most people concerned about privacy rights will find echoes of their own concerns here. Annotation c.
