Big Brother, Big Business
CNBC Special Report:
Technology is being used to monitor
Americans more than ever before.
"Big Brother Big Business," CNBC takes a look at the
companies behind the powerful business of personal
information and the people whose lives are affected by
it, including: a woman who lost her job due to mistaken
identity; a man whose cell phone records were stolen by
his former employer; a woman whose personal information
was stolen from a company she had never heard of; a man
who discovered his rental car company was tracking his
every move.
The documentary also looks at how the FBI, the Border
Patrol, police departments and schools are using
biometric technologies to establish identity as well as
an inside peek at an AOL division that works solely to
satisfy the requests of law enforcement for information
about AOL's members.
