Is your credit card information saved on file at your favorite online store? Are your medical records stored electronically at your doctor’s office? What would happen if that information was compromised? What are some of the major threats to information systems?

Huge amounts of information are stored in many places -- and 'shipped' around the country between stores and govt agencies all the time. Not to mention credit reporting agencies and insurance companies, which share copies of everything.
Identity theft is just one of the major problems -- and that information has been compromised for hundreds of thousands of people at various times.

What does this have to do with politics? Check out the HIPPA act for doctor/patient information.
