Re: Is a compromise possible?

Totally agree. A couple of related thoughts:

- In the UK, "economic wellbeing" is part of the spies' work. Sounds like it covers spying on non-uk businesses too. If you have "nothing to hide", it means you don't have an important position in any organisation.

- What about rough insiders, selling info? Snowden went public, but I would be surprised if he was the only of the 850000 with Top Secret*) clearance that siphoned off info.

*) Top Secret is a bit of a joke here. As my dad once said, if more than 2 people know it, it is not a secret any more.
