right or wrong privacy policy - shades of gray per Greg Richardson Civitim?

San Francisco's Muni WiFi consultant Greg Richardson of Civitium is quoted saying about privacy policies "There is no right or wrong privacy policy," he said, only "shades of gray."

My answer to that is that architecture is policy - if the city stood up to the vendors and said we respect our citizen's privacy like their private library records then they could tell Earthlink/Google that the WiFi network should not even for a moment collect personal information - SFLAN a local community wireless solution does just find without it.

Here's a description of San Francisco's Patriot Act Watch law - which shows how much the city respects it's citizen's privacy - the city would never think of selling private information.
