To Bozeman, Montana: Don’t Stop!

Dear Mayor Jacobson and City Manager Kukulski:

I was disappointed to learn that you have stopped asking applicants for their usernames and passwords to email accounts and social networking sites on the Internet.

In this era where its hard to tell where leaks have sprung, this policy of requesting usernames and passwords is immensely useful in allowing you to track real time subterfuge and illegal activities that your employees and potential employees engage in. Imagine the utility of knowing that your secretary has emailed her husband that she will be home late and that he should prepare dinner! Obviously she was revealing to the world that the secret behind closed doors meeting was taking place–and with access to her email account you can prove this and not bother with discovery or any of those other silly court room antics–instead summarily fire her–or, in especially egregious cases, shoot her!

Not only that, you will be able to track, in real time, why Deputy Officer Fink is sleeping on the job: He’s been trolling Craig’s List for dates–and we all know that Craig’s List users are not to be trusted, especially after recent events.

I really wish that you would turn back the clock to 11:59am, Friday, when you were still asking for usernames and passwords–It is turning the clock in the right direction.

Adam
