This article needs alot of work, not just in the writing but in the content. References to biometrics are biased and shallow -- sure there are threats from biometrics but that is less than half the story (biometrics can presevre privacy better than anything else, if used properly).

The references to political climate (apparently in the US? ) are non-specific and won't stand a test of time at all.

Lots of work needed. I'll start, but it would be good if everyone could start improving this one incrementally.

Interesting tidbit: "USA Today reported Thursday [May 11, 2006] that the three largest U.S. telephone companies--AT&T, Verizon, and BellSouth--have handed over millions of wireline phone records to the National Security Agency without a court order."[1] Shawnc 13:38, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Should this be in Category:Privacy?

[edit] Hot topic

I rated this article high priority for the Business & Econ project because it's a hot topic and should be covered in a balanced way. I don't consider this article to be neutral. Maybe adding references will help, but there's also some good information in data privacy and expectation of privacy that would help balance this article. -- SueHay 23:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
