If you subscribe your first statment you've given away *EVERYTHING*, your financial and personal information and invited the enemy into your BEDROOM!

My concern is theft, not privacy. I'll gladly give CC, billing address, mother's maiden name, even my SSN to a government entity. I'm not too concerned that they will rob me.

I'm also not too concerned about being spyed on by city governments. Not only don't they have the budget for it, I'm just not that damn interesting. On the other hand, if a law enforcemnt agent wants to spy on you, it doesn't really matter if the service is provided by the city or Starbucks. A warrant is a warrant and the PATRIOT act is a warrant.
