Selling mass location data to the highest bidder is indeed extremely slimy and even a threat to "national security".

Are you familiar with the design of the Google systems WRT securing this data? Based on the revelations Snowden was able to do, and a similar level of familiarity with Google's security measures, it sounds like Google even has the NSA beat as far as keeping data secure.
