I'm worried about everyone else. If these databases start linking up it would be feasible for someone to "goggle" me, find out who I am, realize that I'm not at home, hit another local website to look up my place of residence and help them self. This is also why I don't like FB and twitter updates that suggest we'll be out of town, i.e."Off to Nashville for some much needed R&R." After doing a few security certs, I've become much more paranoid. It's just too stinking easy. It’s not the current administration I’m concerned about, they’ve got more than enough to keep them busy.

But, honestly, isn't the genie out of the bottle now? Luckily, the current administration is too stupid to even lock down a TSA Security Manual, so it will take them a while to leverage Google's tools and use them for the evil in which they long to engage. New Zealand here we come. I think your concern is justified. But, honestly, isn’t the genie out of the bottle now?
