There is also the little problem of the need for cross-border 
communications outside Europe, which then opens the data to 
exploitation anyway. It's sort of like the nation-state version of 
unplugging your organisation from the net for 'optimum' security. It 
'works', but sort of defeats purpose.

do you fill in the space between here and there? It's yours. Seize your space.
