And while Snowden and Manning had security clearances and Official Secrets Laws holding them accountable for mis-using the data they had access too, I wonder if anyone's even asking who at the local council level has access to this sort of data, and what policies/procedures/systems/agreements/accountability is in place here? Who wants to bet there's nothing stopping the local dog catcher or garbage collection manager from requesting whatever they can plausably justify - then downloading it onto a usb drive and walking out of the office with it?
