Definitely good for my business

I'm quite sure that my employer will be more than happy to sell people tools for analyzing those massive datasets. In practice, secrecy (or rather, confidentiality) has its place (don't really want the general public poring over personal financial records, even though financial data are very useful to analyze), but not in government-funded scientific research. Taxpayers (rightly or wrongly) fund most of big science, so the results should be available to the general public for no more than the cost of publication, and be freely copyable and publishable by whomever wants to.
