Insecure Irony

What’s the worst thing that could happen to BigBrother and any of its puppets? – Have their confidential info exposed due to the negligence of a commercial organization, one that is used for gathering the majority of intelligence data these days. Now, that’s an insecure irony. 

It is a public secret that any government is gathering enormous information on its citizens through commercial organization's extremely rich databases. Everyone's in the system though, even the ghosts!

I also advise you to go though a great research on the topic of "Commecial Data and National Security" in case you want to know more on how governments and intelligence agencies use/abuse the data.
