Thank you for saying that
In the headlong rush to outsource data services, data security is getting shuffled aside in the quest for more profit. Storing large amounts of Privacy Act and HIPAA data in a foreign data center...think about that for a minute. Putting that much juicy information about US citizens in the lap of a foreign government and expecting them not to start building detailed dossiers on American citizens.

Imagine them having a complete financial history on the people being elected to Congress in the next few decades.
