From the New York Times via truthout.org :
Full Constitutional Protection for Some, but No Privacy for the Poor
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/071607I.shtml
Adam Liptak, reporting for The New York Times, writes: "In San Diego, poor people who want public benefits must give up their privacy. Investigators from the district attorney's office there make unannounced visits to the homes of people applying for welfare, poking around in garbage cans, medicine chests and laundry baskets.
Applicants are not required to let the investigators in. But they get no money if they refuse."
Wrap....
