“There are dark, unspoken consequences of lists and information gathering. We’ve seen this before. While President Obama dismissed concerns about his administration’s domestic spying operations as ‘minor intrusions’ on our liberties, the truth is quite different if one actually takes the time to think about the potential implications of such massive data gathering. And can we really be accused of overreacting with the IRS abuse of targeted groups and the government leaks of late? No one but the self-deluded thinks that our data is unfailingly safe and in the hands of the most competent and trustworthy among us.”
