Awesome site! I just read about the site (and your blog username) from howstuffworks.com. I have always wanted to have something like this, with even more detail. I see soooooooo many databases online about individuals and their status, etc. It would be nice if there was one main site that everyone could go to to find out this information.

However, the more I think about this, the more I wonder about privacy. I'm not familiar with privacy laws or anything. But say I was "hiding" out somewhere, from a "stalker" or something. (This might be extreme/rare, but I'm sure it could happen). Say I end up in a disaster area, and someone writes about me on this public information site about my status, maybe where I was from, and most likely where I am now staying. My stalker happens to be computer savvy, and searches this site for my name. Walla, they now know where to find me.

I guess I really don't know what I'm asking or trying to say, but it would be fun to do something like that, but then I try and think about how it might actually not be a good idea, and I think of things like that.
