Federal Packet Reaction

The packet contained a series of brief articles discussing how the government is making a lot of once public information private. This is related to the ongoing debate of whether information should be made available to all, or only to cetain people. One topic mentioned is that of e-mail privacy. Some said emails were documents and should be allowed to be made public. Another said that emails were like telephone calls and we dont tap every phone line. Its a pretty sticky situation. On the one hand it seems that information shouldn't be limited because how is right for some to decide who can see what? However, if sensitive information falls into the wrong hands terrible things could happen.
