US plans massive data sweep
Little-known data-collection system could troll news, blogs, even

No matter how little privacy you have, there will always be Stainless
Steel Rats. They rely on the fact that the more data that authorities
have, the more it all looks the same. They simply hide in the noise.

For the rest of us, I would have to say that privacy is highly
over-rated. What the heck do you need privacy for, except to hide some
wrongdoing? :-)
