Agreed, Kim. No argument at all here. Difficult though ..

Again agreed, on both points. But, in terms of complete accuracy, eg
even simply current address, phone, next-of-kin, etc, it does appear
reasonable to allow individual access. Maybe biometric log-ins might
be indicated despite past-Linked security issues around such systems?
