The Security Mentor

"But I've got nothing to hide", "my life is boring anyway", "I trust the government" -- these are things you might say if you aren't worried about government surveillance and recordkeeping.

But can you trust everyone who works for the government, everyone who has enough money to bribe a government employee, everyone who has enough pull to change the laws, and everyone who finds a slipup in the government's security?

Need an example? Consider the case of an Ohio policeman allegedly using police databases to harass his ex-wives.
