However, data is leaked often onto the street, and of all companies and organizations, governments have the MOST incompetent IT departments. And if it's not the tech guys, the manager dudes are very sloppy. I would sign off immediately on any law that allows the govt to access ANY information of me, as long as it comes with a clause that they will pay me millions of $$$ if they mess up. Perhaps then they will finally become a bit more competent at IT and privacy. It should in general NOT be a problem that the govt can access private information.
