Like Homeland 'Security', which is spying on people ('national' security), patents for 'securing' so-called 'innovations' and DRM for 'securing' content.

Like, I don't understand what my medical records are doing on a server in America, never been there and most probably never going there .. re: Security and Identity Management ..
