So if you still haven't figured out a reason not to like all the data-gathering the Bushies are up to these days...

Yet the defenses around data at most federal agencies have been vulnerable for years and continue to fall below acceptable standards, according to security experts and government auditors. Even in the aftermath of the high-profile incident at the VA, the Government Accountability Office on June 20 repeated warnings that the federal bureaucracy is riddled with "weaknesses in almost all areas of information security controls."

The Raw Story | Many Federal Agencies Fail to Protect Personal Data

...try this.

Sorry to have to mention this so early in the morning, Bunky, but the days of "privacy" are long, long gone. There ain't no more "personal papers" left to be secure in. But what I say is, if they get to know everything there is to know about us why don't we get to know everything there is to know about them? I can not remember a government so intrusive into personal affairs and at the same time so secretive about its own as this one is. And all the while, nattering about democracy.

You can't have a democracy in secret. You don't get government by the people that way, you get government by dopes.
