A lack of faith pretty well justified at this point.

I appreciate the annoyance at "oh noes teh NSA!", but this article exactly points out the problem: local, not state or federal, authorities are where this will be an issue.

Everyone is busy hopping on the "fuck the NSA" bus, and that conveniently draws fire from the numerous local police departments that are expanding their own reach.

Don't get distracted--the same data is just as dangerous (if not more dangerous) in the hands of local officials than some folks at an alphabet-soup agency.
