I personally see a connection between the financial collapse that this thread ostensibly espouses to discuss and the subsequent collapse of privacy. On further thought about that UK proclamation, and the one recently revealing that Obama was absolving themselves from lawsuits etc., I realize the gist of that is twofold: the Bush policies will continue; and they know they will mess up and harm people (i.e. a lost laptop that allows everything you ever wrote to leak out doing who knows what damage to your career or personal life). In other words, they want to absolve themselves of responsibility for their own inevitable negligence. By now, people should know it is not if, but how often, your personal data is compromised. I get a report about my personal or financial data being stolen every three months on average, so the real number is likely every three weeks.
