ESSAY
"Security vs. Privacy and Freedom"
Categories
Excerpt (first and last two sentences)
"Is it a waste of
time to evaluate the “costs” of lost privacy and freedom due to tighter domestic
security? Are civil rights groups like the ACLU forcing the government to waste
resources by getting too caught up in bureaucratic debates?...
...But if civil liberty groups do not stand up for those too caught up in
life to stand up for themselves, government agencies writing security policy
will not be subjected to appropriate checks and balances. This will cause
privacy and freedom in the United States to suffer."
