I do not suppose many people would suffer in any way in their work life if
their name appeared on a list of 100 attendees at a lecture given by Al
Quaida and was presented in an unstructured filing system. As such it could
well be irrelevant whether or not that information were personal in any way.
[Apologies if the organisational name is not spelt correctly in its english
version.]
