I would have been concerned about the government trying to go after me for pulling data from their website in an unintended fashion and using it to expose their incompetence. Like how the targeting of the journalist that broke the story about teachers in Missouri having their SSNs stored in a table on a webpage but just having that column hidden. Or like prosecution of Aaron Swartz for using a guest account given to him by his university to bulk download journal articles from JSTOR.

Nonetheless, interesting article and I hope something comes from the crimes uncovered.
