Abstract
Introduction: Pr ofiling Governm entality Welfare claimants in Massachusetts who were 'hits' in a computer match for fraud had to fight for reinstatement on the basis of information ignored by the state. The Privacy Act is not deemed to cover such instances because they can be construed by matchers as 'routine use'. People who are computer match hits are denied the due process of law, which would give them the chance to confront their accusers with contrary evidence before steps are taken to apprehend wrongdoers (Lyon 1994: 50 51).
