Some would say that is common sense others are going to jump on this train and ride it all the way.

maybe not. More likely sold as block to another provider at some point. With the changes in cost and service levels to go with it. > > This may be good if you want to be targeted.

Really they can't? My oh my. What is the world coming to. employees have been mining information from central records since Hamurabi. Put the controls in place monitor the staff and if something happens take them to task. Hacking is a Federal offence these days. Hopefully they will have a level of security that will keep the kids out. Homeland security has the rest (come on Charles I can't make it any easier for you)
