I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Ars Technica has a nice article on why security consultant Ed Giorgio's statement that "privacy and security are a zero-sum game" is wrong. They reason that, due to Metcalfe's law, the more valuable a government network is to the good guys, the more valuable it is to the bad guys. Given the trend in government to gather all of its eggs into one database (to mix a metaphor), unless more attention is paid to privacy, we'll end up with neither security nor privacy. In other words, privacy and security are a positive sum game with precarious trade-offs — you can trade a lot of privacy away for absolutely no gain in security, but you don't have to."
