The simple truth is there is nothing called data protection

With another case, "Stolen TJX Data Used in $8M Scheme Before Breach Discovery", it is simple to know that it is almost impossible to protect our sensitive data, unless we would give up the best thing of modern time and live in the old way, paying cash and never let anyone, perhaps, including the govenment takes our identities.

Of course, we cannot. We need to show the personal data to the government, to our dentists, to our doctors, to air lines etc. I do believe that all parties including their executives/leaders would never intend to have any problem with our data. But no one can guarantee that there were no identity thieves, inside or outside. Anyone who is good in history might turn out bad by many reasons.

I think that the only way to protect all of us is to have serious punishment so that no one would dare to risk. Just like the old days, death penalty was the only way to keep peace. With the kind of forgiveness in mind to govern our world, there is no way to protect any lawful citizen.

In a way, I do feel that law makers were preserving the escape for themselves instead. Just like some countries where men used to rape and punish women for all reasons, there was no law to punish men at all.

As I have mentioned, the lack of updated knowledge is the major problem we face today. Any law-maker without the ability to protect us must not be elected anymore.
