    Its all based on a simple phrase…. “personal proprietory privacy”. Use that phrase, and it becomes a phrase that ties an individual to its OWN privacy, and not the right to place anothers personal privacy at risk. Its not that hard; looks like they have to fight against each other just before the elections to give themselves some motivation to show face, in congress, TV and the political campaign trail.
