Worldwide Game Of Tag
The State Department said a worldwide game of tag showed how social networking can speed up diplomacy. It sponsored a competition in which teams had to find and photograph five people throughout the world. The winners were a group from the United States, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates. They found someone in Slovakia in under eight hours using only a photograph. They also tracked down targets here in Washington and in New York, but couldn't find the ones in Stockholm or London.

THAT is using "open source" information. Maybe you can start getting an idea of why YOUR picture has been taken hundreds or thousands of times by our own government and police agencies. And stored forever. Should scare the hell out of you, too, but probably not....too many people think that because they haven't done anything wrong (using THEIR definition of "wrong", LOL!) its cool.
Diplomacy? You must mean spying! That's what Google and Picaso is doing; putting names on everyone's faces out there. It's like turning in your neighbor to use those programs!
