Except for the people who talk about taking away the ability to spy completely - they're not just trying to hide what's worth hiding today. In the 1960s if you advocated for racial equality and interracial marriage, you were a social radical, a destabilizer, an insurgent in the popular culture.

We should never be so sure we're right that we destroy the mere possibility of change.
