We have no evidence that the Klingons knew anything about the Borg at that point, either.
And thus, exposed themselves and their technology to the Borg Collective, which might want to take a closer look later on.
Hmm.. I wonder why the Borg never perfected cloning technology? maybe they always want new "minds" to their Collective, and clones would effectively contribute nothing?
I have a theory about the Borg: they are not so dangerous, in theory. They don't want to assimilate non-stop every being in the galaxy. They simply probe and raid civilisation to keep up to date with their technology, biology and sociology. They kinda expect to be defeated, as they don't want to see the source of their constant improvement to be cut down.
The Fed has probably already supplied wonders in technological advancements. BECAUSE they met the Borg and decided to go into High Speed Defence mode.
