And the government are good at losing data !!

I had to laugh at your comment "the Great Unwashed" well I do shave !! but seriously, I totally agree with your arguments and what worries me regarding company site security is that the British gov is currently improving its trackrecord of leaving data on trains, suffering data theft left right and centre so how can we be sure that their snooped stuff which can easily include perfectly innocent company trade secrets are not going to be discovered dumped on a bus for anyone to look at and perhaps use? It's the government's lack of security acumen that worries me the most. They need to get their own House in order first before they start poking around copying everything they lay their hands on. They will take more data than they have eyes to evaluate so there will be a lot of data that they have no control over and the data left on buses etc, might include inventions like mine that I definitely don't want seen by my competitors before we launch our products. With the government data theft levels as high as they are, it won't be long before companies end up being blackmailed by "passengers" for the return of stolen data. Meanwhile, real professional criminals will evade IT detection anyway. so I do not see the advantages of these government snooping and copying strategies.
