The interesting thing about the privacy "debate" is that there is an exceptionally high correlation between opposition to privacy and the consumption of public money.
Monty's customary reasonableness goes bizarro with these statements.
In that direct or indirect defense funding implicates just about every US citizen, even world denizen, not holed up in a treetop for the last half century of national security octopussing.
Sore nerve in a glass house, eh? Charming Minsky still does a Denning. Trillion dollar pork barrel: some gives, some takes. Not both. Every rat pulls the lever, gets the pellet.
