The debate about privacy is undeniable and accepted, and it must be protected.
Let's try to be more practical and take a micromanagement approach. Since we are still in the theoretical realm, it may be appropriate to provide a tangible example.
Could you give me one or two specific examples of privacy information to put it in the context of information sharing or national security?
What sort of information are you referring to?
A person's name may not be enough. Is buying a plane ticket to go to Europe in two weeks an example of the type of personal information you are referring to or is it more specific information?
Could you give us one or two hypothetical examples—we will not use names—so that we can have a more concrete foundation for the debate?
