My first thought, when I saw this post's listing was something like: Geesch, what are 'powers-that-be' planning that would cause these people to hide?
But then I read the article, and I guess I have to sympathize with Judges fears.
But!
Not, 'But, I will disagree with them', but 'BUT, WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF US'!
OK, OK, I know that people in the 'legal' system are possibly exposed to elements that the rest of us can't imagine. As shown in places like Columbia, and most likely many others.
But so too are Police men and women, Lawyers, Doctors, and you might also consider – Barbers! Really, anybody with contact with the general public and with a possible axe to grind.
And then there are people like me. Before we even knew what Personal Identification Security was, I walked around at work with my Social Security Number printed on my workplace Identification Badge. For YEARS. Coming into contact with hundreds and hundreds of people.
I'm sure I don't know 'the-half-of-it', but I do realize that there is a lot of information sharing. And in many cases we are given an opportunity to 'opt-out'.
But (again), we really shouldn't need to 'opt-out'. The choice should first be given to 'opt-in' to things that personally affect us. And even our Medical information should not be shared without this 'opt-in' choice.
Our Politicians should be also concerned with our Safety and Security.
