Fair point. I hadn't thought about it a great deal, as I said, I'm not concerned about it

Agreed on both points. In the case I cited, the policeman was caught (presumably from audit logs), but none the less, it happened.

I was just trying to make the point that it doesn't have to be Amazon as a company that decides to do something with your data - one of their employees could do so.
