The larger point is that if government records get screwed up, the burden for straightening the mess out lies with the citizen and the government assumes a largely obstructionist role in fixing things.
The more the agencies share every detail of our lives, the more vulnerable we are if there is an error - far more vulnerable people realize until it happens.
