<br/><br/> "A law enforcement measure that has had mixed results in hunting down fugitives among the nation's sick and disabled is expanding this year [2005] to target the much larger ranks of retired Americans. Thousands of unsuspecting retirees could lose their Social Security checks in the months ahead, some over false or unproven allegations, minor infractions or long-dormant arrest warrants." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article examines the flaws with "the Fugitive Felon Project, a little-known law-and-order measure created by Congress in 1996 to help apprehend suspects and to prevent fleeing criminals from using government benefits to elude arrest" revealing that "the computer dragnet frequently cut off federal benefits to the sick, poor and disabled who were neither fugitives nor felons."
