When I see the freaking Education Department on the same list I have to wonder if something else isn't going on. Where is national security implicated there? For that matter, the Social Security Administration?

Now, there's good reason to suppress certain types of leaks from those organizations, they have a lot of private data on Americans (Obamacare put all government guaranteed etc. student loans going forward into the government, and a quick skim of Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_loans_in_the_United_Sta...) indicates the DoEducation is naturally involved).

But that's not been a problem as long as I can remember, so I somehow doubt that's the intention of this insanely broad program. As I've mentioned in other akin discussions, I remember Nixon, and this feels like Nixon to the Nth degree.
