Consumer groups had suddenly gained power, and were daily exposing scams and con artists. In most states, detailed breakdowns of campaign finance infor- mation were being posted, in some cases for the first time. There was a lot of focus on the Pentagon's more obscure activities and its dark budget. And so on.

Heather relished the idea of concerned private citi- zens, armed with WormCam and suspicion, clustering around the corrupt and criminal like white blood cells. In her mind there was a simple causal chain lying behind fundamental liberties: increased openness ensured ac- countability, which in turn maintained freedom. And now a technological miracle—or accident—seemed to be delivering the most profound tool for open disclosure imaginable into the hands of private citizens.
