I don't buy any "transparency". Any time I hear that word, I jump to the idea that it is being used to mask something by releasing most things. I don't really care how it's used, processed, stored, etc.; I care that it is. The feds want a biometric database of every American that can be used to track, monitor, and regulate movement. We were supposed to live in a nation where law enforcement didn't watch us unless we were a suspect in a crime. This stuff makes everyone a suspect. The idea of "transparency" only works if we have some way to verify it (which we don't) and if we can punish politicians or bureaucrats for abuses. We can barely fire bureaucrats as-is, how will we do it in the future? And politicians never get punished for mishandling a few cases.
