I found this interesting little item via Boing Boing. Supposedly the writer works for the IRS in the document retention unit and allegedly they were just out-bid (low balled) for the work by a private company.
What with all the security breaches that have occured lately I’m not sure I like this. Of course the government has had its own share of breaches, but still this would make me a whole lot more nervous. Nervouser even.
Now if the contractor lets out our personal data can we sue it? If so then that would be more attractive than suing the IRS itself. See, there’s a silver lining to every dark cloud.

I can’t see data. When it is transmitted to a third party, how do I prove it. Upon arrival it may exist only briefly before being amalgamated into extant databases.
A few thoughts:
1) You want to sue the government (look at your past weeks posts)
2) I can not see bits and bytes either…but others can see it, steal it and use it…hmmmmm.
What I’d rather see is a DOJ with s backbone and some teeth.
