Where we really need to be? - We need to be where those that NEED the information, have access, and once getting it, they do the right thing with it when they get it (is this Utopia). Until then, what is the choice?
Security will never be perfect (it involves humans). Fanatics will get what they need if they consider their own life forfeit. That doesn't mean we have to make it easy for them. So let's take a good hard look. What do we really have a right to know? What do we really have a right to have access to? Respond accordingly (some things will be removed from view). It seems it may be somewhere between what the "government" thinks it means and what it sounds like Mr. Forno thinks it means.
