The amount of data that all the different government agencies has tucked away in their different file cabinets has to be magnitudes more than what's on the public internet. The amount of data in the military... i couldn't even fathom.

One data source i've been thinking about that i don't know if they've hit yet is all the different agencies local and state agencies and their private and public meetings, ordinances, discourse, etc...
