some slippery slope arguments are stupid, such as yours. Obviously you keep personnel records private (unless there's some law/court case requiring it be open)

some slippery slope arguments are stupid, such as yours. Obviously you keep personnel records private (unless there's some law/court case requiring it be open). Classified material is already classified, and is kept private regardless - but there's a good argument to be made that there ought to be automatic declassification of material after a set amount of time (perhaps 20-30 years). Declassifying material is good for the public, as the ability to audit the past prevents future abuses.
