That's a start. Governments need to be 100% transparent in all things. Government officials should have nothing to hide. All meetings are open, all documents are accessible to all, all communications are recorded and open. Convert the NSA into an agency which watches government 24x7. Any government official that is found to hide/obscure information from the public gets three strike after which they are out. For life.

Workers who actually deal with confidential/personal information on citizens are the ones with the privilege to work without such monitoring.
