I would expect some nosy person to access everyone's records, store them and then either charge others for looking at them secretly, or pranking the country by releasing them into the wild.

Yes, right after the change (back in the day, you could view anyone without them getting notified, or being able to see who'd been checking them out), a small cottage industry of "snoopers" popped up. They charged something like $1 - $3.5 pr. query. But that seemed to have died out a bit now.

I think most people simply don't care enough to check out other people, while risking to come off as a snooper.
