Without substantiation, this deserves no more credit than any other  
rumor floating around the internet.  To substantiate it, two questions  
need to be answered:

* Which government does this?
* Which law allows them to do this?

Facts are always welcome on this list, but the world has enough rumor  
in it without us adding to the problem.
