Beware of Technology That is Not as Anonymous as it Looks!

Greeting Citizens of the Realm!
The Paladin has had a few moments from his work in constructing the web site to give thought to a recent national news event that makes quite a statement about personal privacy and technology.
You see, about 6 months ago, The Paladin was experiencing problems text messaging back and forth with his wife (we had never actually text messaged each other before). For some reason, The Paladin’s phone was not receiving any text messages sent from his better half.
After much experimentation, it required a few days worth of help from Verizon’s customer service department to figure out the problem. However, during that time, The Paladin had more than one conversation with the Verizon engineers. He was a bit startled to find out that they were looking at all of his text messages back and forth with his wife. It was at that point that The Paladin realized that these messages were all being saved in a log at Verizon!!!
