What needs defusing is the breadth of the statement as it's being quoted, presumably out of context. Many people still value the little privacy they're able to maintain. Of course credit card info has little privacy associated with it, but the quote implies a much broader loss of privacy, at least on its face, and is already being used in the press to imply that Sun does not CARE about privacy (which I assume and hope is false).

JMHO.

11.5k of fradulant charges were charged on my credit card. credit card company said I probably had it lifted from the internet by making an online purchase. The charges were reversed and cost me nothing.

The other day I used my credit card at the service station. The receipt at the pump had my name and card number on it. What if I had left it in there, forgot to pick it up.

I agree with Scott.
