[jbcyoisk] Free government secrets for sale

We fancifully consider expanding FOIA in two ways:

1. The government may charge a price to provide the information requested.
2. All information the government has is for sale, including things these days considered government secrets: they just have a higher price.  The idea is, if (say) a foreign intelligence agency wants some information, they already currently can get it, for a price: the cost of developing and deploying intelligence to acquire the information, e.g., payroll of spies, cost of surveillance equipment.  Simply selling government secrets at a price slightly less than their cost of intelligence allows our government to make a profit on money that was ultimately going to be spent anyway, elsewhere.
