Well said.
I have no problem with the State having its secrets. It's a necessity, and one of the many reasons that public trust in their government is so important (which itself is another can of worms).
I just feel that it's equally if not more important that individual citizens are also entitled to their secrets, and in fact the presumption of privacy absent consent or significant circumstances.
