The OSA is a piece of ridiculous outdated catch-all which is generally used to conceal stuff the state (i.e., bureaucrats) would be embarrassed to have you know - incompetence, laziness and petty corruption. It's of minimal use or relevance against real spies. It's for stopping the populace knowing too much about what is done in its name, and protecting the interests and public face of ministers etc. In other words, I'm violently anti - as I am any censorship or abrogation of reasonable freedom by government - and I had hoped that under US influence from FOIA we might have our stupid laws removed... Our main protection, IMO, is the total incompetence of government. But this only works in the longer term, in the near term they can still royally f*ck things up and make individual lives a misery.
