Historian: Espionage Not Just for CIA, KGB Anymore

Get ready to live in a world without privacy or secrecy, warns historian Richard Aldrich, who specializes in intelligence gathering and espionage.

Speaking at the PINC 15 conference in Amsterdam, Aldrich said it's not just government agencies that are spying on us now.

According to Wired, Aldrich believes the big intelligence gatherers are now airlines, banks, Internet providers, and others.

"These organizations are becoming cleverer and cleverer -- cleverer than the CIA, cleverer than the KGB," he said.

Aldrich said a business could now predict with about 90 percent accuracy how he would vote in upcoming European elections, although he doesn't know yet himself.

He also warned that even governments and businesses will have a hard time keeping secrets in the future.
