Holy smoke, to read that any data company prioritizes the privacy of public officials higher than that of 'regular' citizens... wow.
(Go read that Lex/Nex link in comments above)

That really begs the question, are we civilians or citizens?

Our information is very much out there at large as it is, our health care records are being moved to foreign lands away from HIPAA protections and FEDS jurisdiction.

Data clearing houses selling to any Tom, Dick, or Harry that has the money and is willing to pay.

Combined these with the repeated breeches and compromised data... sheesh!

Please, Gibbs, or someone out there, go research the cumulative numbers of name/DOB/SSN records that have been REPORTED to have been compromised in the last decade.

How many of us haven't been compromised? I think THAT is the real question. When you add the total record counts of breeches that occurred to military, government, corporate, and medical categories alone, it IS staggering.

There is a very real possibility that we have created an irreparable chink in our cyber-armor, and that issue (and resolving it) needs to be first and foremost in the NSA/USAF CYSEC team leader minds.

The compromised data is a matter of national security, as it can be used to attack our economy, as well as to cause considerable disruption to our internet infrastructure.

Back to the red pill.

GULP...
I... I... Feel different... oh what a strange sensation that is coming over me, I feel the effects of the red pill coming over me. I don't understand it but, I'm compelled to go close out my 401k, bank accounts, sell off stocks, titled / deeded assets, place my trust back in my Mason jars, and PUBLISH all info related to my ID in European, Russian, and London websites.

With in 96 hours, my former ID would show up on many radars all at once, and none of the blips are actually me, that's cool.

Red Pill ..... AKA..........The GIGO Life Hack ;)
