The Liberty Trilogy deals with the termination of government. Until a substantial number of people graduate from a freedom school and quit their government jobs, it's unlikely that anyone will notice or care - but when they do notice, they will care; and a witch-hunt will begin. Transition to Liberty imagines what forms it may take. Why does privacy matter?

I will keep such data only for long enough to administer shipment and any follow-up, and then very well secured with PGP Disk - but if you use Paypal or any other money transfer system, the record may be permanent and open for government scrutiny.
