I remember a character in one of Isaac Asimov's Black Widower books (his mystery short stories) griping that diet soda would make someone feel virtuous, and as a result they'd eat more during the meal, and they ended up eating more calories as a result.

Oof. That sucks -- sorry to hear it. But yeah, eliminating everyone in your contact list (wife and offspring excluded, assuming you trust them) is probably the only safe thing to do now.

I'd rank stealing home as about equal. Triple-plays vary in entertainment value.

Yeah, that really does sound like something straight out of a movie.

I don't doubt that's true, just like the age requirements in the UK and other places will stop some kids from bad things. But in both cases, it's a baby with the bathwater situation, and getting rid of privacy and security measures for people who need them just sucks. There will always be small niche phones available that will allow full privacy, but Google's half of a two-headed monster in the field, and they've taken so many steps backwards recently.
