Guys,
I won't discount concerns for loss due to nature or stupidity but I think crime is over estimated. What percent of the zillion electronic transactions each day result in fraud or other mischief? Point, how many zeros?
You think the government is out to get your data? Government doesn't need data to control everybody. Do you think Stalin or Mao had or wanted data on their victims? Modern governments practice tyranny by proxy.
The notion of privacy, like personal modesty is faddish. Today its butt cracks and blogs. The bad guys go for the easiest prey. There are plenty of victims with their butts hanging out to go around.

I'm with you Bob. I don't want any more of that material out there
and hackable than I can possibly have. The absolute minimum.
At some point people have to weigh the value of convenience against
the value of their privacy. I wonder whether the majority will ever
figure that out.
