Being ignorant of the super secret Squirrel clandestin­e activities of our government may be bliss but doesn't our ignorance in some ways passively enable our government to do whatever the he/she/it feels like doing without check or restraint?

On the flip side, if the expectatio­n of privacy is taken away from these people, the unintended consequence this type of leak will likely have is candid state communications coming to a screeching halt....

edit...until the federal government can figure out a privacy solution they can tax us billions for.
