It seems to me taht the greatest risk (in the context of families which
share a PC or e-commerce account) is those online retailers who don't
just store purchase history for inquisitive persons to examine, but also
thrust "recent searches" as well as "recent purchases" in the user's
face on their home page.
This isn't simply an issue with Sensitive (big "S") items, but can
easily give the game away when buying xmas/birthday presents.
Either can bring a whole new context to the "delivered in plain brown
wrapper" meme.
