Slippery slope. Which is why some people react negatively when such proposals first appear. (But the data will be warehoused domestically... this year... except when it's displayed abroad...)<p>My other observation would be that traffic control is an an aspect of governance. Again, a slippery slope. Once you start outsourcing your governance to a significant degree, your not really autonomous, anymore. My comment may appear to be making a mountain out of a molehill, but when you can't manage your day-to-day affairs without going and depending upon overseas, well, there you are.<p>For citizens and for governance, it's the death of a thousand cuts.
