In addition to the contribution limits you and others propose, I think we should make a condition of certain high level politicians that all their conversations are public record. EVERYthing that isn't classified is availble right away, and the rest is on some kind of accelerated release schedule a few months after the action or information has been done/used. At that level only the details of when/where/who/what are discussed so we wouldn't need to worry about technical details being released anyways.

If people knew what their representative said at all times (especially behind closed doors) I think it would do two things. 1. Open people's eyes to their beloved representative's true character. 2. Hopefully start to change the way they (voters and politicians) make decisions, especially in light of the new contribution limit proposed above.

Simple, effective changes are the way to make big things happen over time.

I think the main reason that those industries are interested is that a lot of the tools/apps the user base works on is through a secure web portal. Any data access behind the portal is limited so that it can not come down to the local device. If you think about it a good example is employees who use a "thin" computer like a Wyse terminal. If they can access the same apps/session behind a secure web portal from a DMZ based wifi network on their personal equipment who cares? The data that matters (financial or medical records) is still secure and only available inside the company data center and it never really leaves the secure environment. Obvious downsides are any local keylogger program and/or spyware that takes screenshots but there can be additional checks/scripts run from the web portal to minimize the threat of those attacks.
