Personally, it is getting kind of scary, for if someone really wants the info they could get it... someone said once here, locked doors only keep honest people out, and I think that stands.
What would take the edge off of things if there is a problem, that the companies and people that could be notified, say the credit bureau, or the municipalities have a softer stance on errors and ommissions.
For as we move further away from recording down things on paper or something permenent, the less verifiability can be assumed about the data.
Though I could see an end to the hardware layer being the point of blame. Maybe raid10 hard disk cartridges? ( ten ipods strapped together might due) Where in the event of a partial failure on the drive(s?) no data is lost.
And arrays of these disks are reasonable, the consumer keeps one 'tied' to the home network for comparison of his personal data, a return where if your data at home and permission matches the data on the site in question then it can be opened. (now this means obviously all people have homes... a much more difficult problem I suspect)
Instead of 'you've got mail'... maybe 'you have an ...info request, do you accept... it is from Dr. Golfer and the medical institute to share your gall bladder info for a study.... etc... this system might bring a smile to my face.
Have a great day everyone, and happy national sporting...
