I realize this probably won't be a popular stance, but I have to agree with Polar Fitness. Somebody that has a security clearance or is involved in secret operations is pretty darned stupid if they opt in to public data sharing like that.

I don't see how that is controversial, it seems incredibly stupid on the soldiers behalf. If it is a secured area why on earth are they activating something like that.
