I'll take congress's concern for privacy seriously when they start applying it to themselves. For instance, in the draft of the so-called "stimulus" bill I read, it called for centralizing all medical records under federal control. The federal government doesn't respect americans privacy in anything- even in much more private areas of their lives, such as financial dealings. (You're compelled to reveal these to the IRS every year, and all the banks give individual transaction data to the government upon request, they don't even need a court order.)
