          Yep but privatization = more money for high level security. Computer systems are expendable as far as the budget is concerned I bet.

          Having more money means yes you can put more towards security. Doesn't stop Amazon, Sony, Samsung getting hacked though does it??

          What is sarcastic about the incredibly efficient private sector? Of course the gov. should still subsidise for low income earners.
