what flavour is the kool-aid on Planet Conform, Phil?
> "development of security resources for activists"
netsec is important to everyone from corporations with large customer
DBs of personal information who can afford the fancy consultants to
activists with zero budgets with the contact details of dissident
citizens in the foriegn regimes they campaign against or even domestic
political parties. like BNP whose membership was leaked very recently.
you might not agree with any single one of these examples but the
specifics are irrelevant and the message clear -- any organisation or
individual has the right to take measures to enable  control of their
'privileged' information. you are on a LUG mailing list . this is
practoically preaching to the choir.

under the law, you also expect these reasonable due diligence to be
taken with your data by a third party that may hold it  otherwise they
are punishable by the law for allowing the info to become compromised.

yes you are.
what 'others'? scary terrorists, squatters, hoodie-thugs, asylum
seekers, tarmac wielding gypsies or the bad guys from Lost?
i would remove the tinfoil hat, take off the SOCPA scarf and come out
of your Fort made with old rolled up copies of the Daily Mail and have
a nice cup of Horlicks, Phil.
