The sad truth is that there is no way to engineer a solution to the security theft here. Human theft. Somebody, no matter who it is. Is alway going to have that access.

Combine that with the inevitability of these systems....not good.

People can't even say 'enough, -stop!' because they arent even aware of what's going on with their data in the first place. This database is probably nothing compared to what we'll see (or won't see, rather) from private companies in the near future. They'll get all your info, profile you, predict your behavior in order to better sell you stuff. And Uncle Sam will dip in the pot at will with a warrant-less NSA letter or some other term of art. Or some asshole will just steal it and sell it so criminals can have a field day. Sigh.
