Rally Point is a public discussion board hosted by a private company that clearly states there is no formal or legal connection to DoD. Now, if one member accesses a Government Information Network to investigate, with the clear intent to gain personal information of another member for personal reasons, on this public message board, is that a violation of information security laws? Privacy Act? Are Federal charges warranted?

You can research me all you want. I don't care. If its online or on global then I'm not hiding anything. My FB details about me are false just to let any know I have not worked at Mordor as call girl nor have I ever lived in Dildo, Canada (yes, that is the name of the town).

I doubt it. I mean, I can access that info at home with a CAC reader, so it's not terribly likely. If anything, I'd say looking up someone's info for verification purposes could easily fall under counter-intelligence, and should be allowed.

Could this be construed as misuse and abuse of a government network? In other words, not official duty?
Thank you.
Thank you.
