...McNealy couldn’t have said it any better “You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it” (Sprenger, 1999, para.1). The evolution of technology has made it easier for Big Brother to watch us. Our privacy against government intrusion is virtually impossible because technology has provided more access than our judicial, legislative and political systems have developed restrictions. After 9/11 The Patriot Act was one of many surveillance laws that made it easier for the government to keep an eye on us. The change in this law gave the government more authority to check any citizen’s Internet usage, obtain bank and credit card information, check emails, and monitor phone calls. The government obtains this information by sending out National Security Letters (NSLs). After the information is obtained and used it is not destroyed. The change in the Patriot Act does not require for the obtained information to be destroyed. Whoever receives a NSL is not allowed to tell anyone...

...Surveillance Surveillance in Schools: Safety vs. Personal Privacy A project created by Kathy Davis, John Kelsey, Dia Langellier, Misty Mapes, and Jeff Rosendahl Project Home Security Cameras Metal Detectors Locker Searches Internet Tracking “Surveillance…n. close observation, esp. of a suspected person” [emphasis added] --Reader’s Digest Oxford Complete Wordfinder, 1996 In 1995, “The total number of crimes committed per year in or near the 85,000 U.S. public schools has been estimated at around 3 million” (Volokh & Snell, 1998). Our educational system is evolving all the time, and one factor that is constantly changing is the aggressiveness within our schools. In 1940, a survey of teachers revealed that the biggest behavioral problems they had from students were “talking out of turn, chewing gum, making noise, running in the halls, cutting in line, [violating] the dress code, [and] littering” (Volokh & Snell, 1998). In 1990, the toprated problems were “drug abuse, alcohol abuse, pregnancy, suicide, rape, robbery, [and] assault” (Volokh & Snell, 1998). In 1940, we had little need for surveillance beyond a teacher’s observation and intervention. Today, however, we live in a much more diverse society with troubled youth and adults who have easy access to weapons, drugs, pornography, etc., which have enabled students and staff to bring their violent and/or inappropriate tendencies into the naïve schools. What worked in 1940 (teacher-student confrontation) is not as realistic...

...Domestic terrorism has been a part of United States (U.S.) history since its independence. Domestic terrorism can be defined in the U.S. as acts dangerous to human life or the infrastructure and committed by a U.S. citizen. New York City is no stranger to acts of terrorism whether it is domestic or international. New York City is considered the financial center of the world and is home to numerous critical infrastructures that can be vulnerable to acts of domestic terrorism. One of the major critical infrastructures is the Empire State Building, which after an assessment is vulnerable to acts of domestic terrorism. Empire State Building The Empire State Building is a 103 story high skyscraper located in the heart of Midtown, Manhattan. It is a privately owned commercial building located on 34th Street and 5th Avenue. Since 1931, the Empire State Building has been part of the New York City skyline and is now considered a landmark. There are numerous different business organizations and stores that rent out space and it is even home to local radio stations. The Empire State building is one of the main tourist attractions in New York City and its observation deck, located on the 86th floor, has been host to over 100 million tourists since it first opened its doors. The Empire State Building has been featured in famous films such as King Kong and Sleepless in Seattle to name a few.

...An anonymous source once said “everybody starts caring when it’s too late”. Through the use of domestic surveillance, our government is able to prevent trouble before an actual threat arises. However, the issue of domestic surveillance is subject to much controversy, as it can ensure security, but only at the cost of our privacy. Domestic surveillance methods such as video surveillance, media surveillance, and drone surveillance are used by the U.S. government in an effort to protect its citizens before it is too late. To begin, video surveillance is a method used to keep citizens safe. A case in which surveillance cameras would have helped, found in a New York Times article by Nick Bilton, is “the case of Mr. Martin, an unarmed black teenager who was fatally shot by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, [where] the most crucial evidence about how the altercation between the two began- one that ultimately led to Mr. Martin’s death- came down to Mr. Zimmerman’s word”. As one can observe from this situation, if there had only been a surveillance camera in the neighborhood, the trial would not have come down to the convict’s and eyewitnesses’ words and would have had solid...

...How have the events of September 11, 2001 affected you personally and how have they changed the country? What has been the effect on American relations with other countries? The events of September 11, 2001 will forever be etched in history. This day changed the lives of all United States citizens as well as those around the world. While the degree of change varies from person to person, the common message that everyone will forever share is that this day marked a new beginning for all. The magnitude and variance of change that was felt as a result of September 11th impacted individuals, neighborhood communities, cities, states, nations, and finally the world. Although I did not lose anyone as a result of the terrorist attacks, it was close, too close for comfort. While my story pales in comparison to the thousands who lost family members and friends on that day, I share my heartache and grief with all of them. September 11, 2001 was a frightening day for me, one that I will never forget. I was eighteen at the time and a freshman in college. After my morning class I passed a television in one of the on-campus café’s that was showing what I thought was a replay of Tower one of the World Trade Center being struck by an airplane. To my shocking astonishment it was actually live coverage and showing Tower two of the World Trade Center being stuck by another airplane. My immediate thought was to get on the telephone and call my family. My entire Mother’s side of the...

...or the National Security Agency, there have been questions after questions regarding the privacy of the things people do online. People are fearing that the government and their respective agencies are overreaching in their collection of citizens’ data. The whole topic on its own, raises quandaries; and at times even resentment due to America’s belief in securing their personal data from the government. In today’s highly technological society, surveillance and monitoring do not encroach upon privacy, but rather aid in promoting civil liberties and public security. The NSA’s actions do not infringe on the 4th amendment and stand to be legal in the eyes of the constitution and that of the judiciary....

...an employee can reasonably expect to have privacy in the workplace. For employees there are a few legal protections regarding privacy in the workplace. However, employers can and should take proper steps to ensure that employees do not assume that they have unwarranted expectations. It has been decided by the Virginia General Assembly and upheld by the Virginia Supreme Court that it is prohibited to use another’s name or image for commercial advantage. It has by implication shown that there is no other statutory or common law cause of action for invasion of privacy. WJLA-TV v.

... Thomas L. Wilson University of Maryland University College: HMLS 312 Professor Steven Woodall 06 September 2014 Term Paper Security vs. Privacy Executive and legislative measures implemented to strengthen the security of the United States and territories within directly contributed to an increase in privacy concerns following the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States and ignited debate, discussion, and study regarding balancing security and privacy thereafter. (Parker, 2004) I am concerned whether or not citizens of the United States will have to forfeit a significant amount of privacy due to intelligence gathering against terrorist activity directed at this country. In my mind, this cannot be answered directed, tucked away and blindly followed. Every step and implementation of new procedures and technologies in direct support of intelligence gathering and identification of terrorist suspects must be debated and understood before going forwarded to ensure due process for privacy concerns. They may have to be an understanding or “give-and-take. (Jenkins, 2012) Many of our security vs. privacy concerns stem from processes implemented after 9/11 for ensuring the United States was more prepared to detect and combat terrorist activities. Of course immediately after, many disagreed and argued that a balance between states security and civil liberty has to be maintained. Additionally, there was (and still is) a considerable requirement for the United States government...

However, with the current advancement of emerging technologies i.e. bionics and smart devices, there are a wide range of vulnerabilities and malicious maneuvering rising up against them. The future of these emerging technologies brings with them a complex set of security issues and policy concerns, which need to be precisely balanced in order to protect national interest and personal and private security. As theses technologies are developed and made practical for effective use by the U.S. military and private use, policy development and governance must keep pace.
