And no amount of security will keep information safe that is accessible on a network.

No one in any position of power cares enough to look into the SB tactical hack, no one cared about doing anything about the ATF's databases when they were exposed, and no one cares enough to do anything about things like the ATF agent here in phoenix taking cell phone pics of dealer sales logs (

There is no accountability for these government agencies so you have to assume that they know everything about what you are doing that is done online, paid with anything other than cash or trade, or anywhere with a camera - even your own.

Under political pressure, Visa and MasterCard have decided not to track gun purchases (which doesn't matter at all due to the illegal databases the ATF has anyways, so they probably realized or were told this and decided to backtrack to save face as the tracking isn't needed as it is being tracked elsewhere...)
Gun rights' activists argued the plans were an infringement on the Second Amendment.
