Privacy watchdog fear of govt super DB

Very simply, the privacy expert AND all of us should be much more fearful of the information private companies (insurance, credit, etc) have on us that keep getting stolen week after week because thos companys privacy experts cannot figure out how to secure it.\

I'm not stupid, we should keep a wary eye on the govt database but for now it really is for our countrys protection.

It amazes me that day after day confidential data gets stolen from financial companies, insurance companies and the like and it's not as important as this. It's not just the data that's stolen that concerns me it's simply the data they have on all of us. That is my biggest fear privacy wise.
