Welcome to 1984, or welcome to a world (just like 2007, 2006, and 2005) where curious people with access to confidential information sometimes abuse it without meaning harm?
I don't think there's any reason to assume malice here, I think stupidity is good enough. This kind of thing happens all the time when famous people check into hospitals and medical residents think it would be clever to pull their file.
This seems more likely to be plain old stupidity than it does evil government influence.
I have 6 gmail invites, If anyone want's one just send me a reason over at pharrington(at)gmail.com.
I'll update this when I'm out.
Bonus points to anyone who knows how to solve the "PPPoE Authentication Fail" that occurs with the Linksys WRT54GS router...
(I don't know what the hell bonus points are...and are hence meaningless)
