Nov 2, 2013 at 15:16 comment added Niemi @Bill. What you point out is interesting (I do not work in the Sates, though), but I hope its not meant as a counterargument to what I said. Just because there is lack of privacy in one area does not mean that I willingly give it up everywhere.

Nov 2, 2013 at 15:03 comment added alvarezpaiva @Niemi: I can appreciate that too. Bill's comment underlines that we have little privacy to start with.

Nov 2, 2013 at 14:53 comment added Bill Johnson Are you equally careful when using email? There is no security there, and not only in the transmission. If you work at a typical State university in the USA, all of your emails are subject to freedom of information inquiries.
