    The government supporting privacy kinda sounds like silicone implants supporting healthy breasts.

      Don't worry. It will all be constrained in its movements by a WonderDatabase(tm).

    Hah, something else you might find interesting from their privacy policy (emphasis mine):

    How you can decide what communications you will receive: You may click here {add opt-out link} if you do not wish to receive further communications from the Liberty Alliance. We will use reasonable efforts to process any change you make as promptly as possible.

    Sorta like a TODO in code that was never finished, right? I'm glad the Liberty Alliance are on the ball here! Especially since security and privacy big concerns for them.
