The consistent libertarian/anarchist view of this would be that the
privacy or non-privacy of records is completely determined by contract
between the person supplying the information and the agency collecting
it. For example, a medical license would be granted by agencies that
granted such licenses. If you wanted a license from a particular agency
you would deal with them. The value of the license is determined by
the reputation of the agency, not whether or not they give out
doctors home addresses.

An amusing example of a conspiracy theory. You are pretty good at
these, you know. :-)
