This is a limit on "person:" objects, NCC's idea of data
protection. 
Don't think you'd like my solution for this though, I wouldn't
allow anyone who isn't a) identifiable and b) contracted access
to personally identifying data. 
I also believe you accessing this constitutes an export to a 
non-EU country, something not allowed under the EU DPD. (not your
problem but the NCC's)
