    Sometimes it seems that the writers for the Onion have escaped into
    the real world...  The database company Sybase has details on their
    "USA PATRIOT Act: COMPLIANCE or CONSEQUENCES" software:
    
    	http://www.sybase.com/solutions/patriotact
    
    It is an entire package designed to automate snooping into their users'
    customers' lives.  Among other things, it features automated notifaction
    of FinCEN and the FBI for suspicious transaction.
