Security Measures?

Question

Would you sacrifice your privacy so you can enjoy added security?
Example,
1- people tapping your phone calls, emails, etc
2- being x-rayed right through your underpants
3- basically having zero privacy

Do you think the present security measures should be toned down or amped up?

Answer 1

necessity is the mother of invention

Answer 2

Whether these are things that we can live with or not, can only be decided by trying it and see how it goes. Believe me, if there are excesses, or abuses, the ACLU, CNN, and Oprah, will lead the way to curtailing such activity. I would like to find out what the conditions are that would give the authority to tap phones, etc. I wouldn't necessarily like being x-rayed down to my undies, but I also wouldn't like to die in an airplane hi-jacking, bombing, take-over. There has to be a compromise and a solution for all these things.

Answer 3

This nation is like a giant computor, and we are all files with info. Unfortunately the U.S. disabled their security walls just enough to allow a small virus to inflict huge damage to the system...
And you think the latest will prevent your privacy. The government will tap your call anytime they feel like, and without anyone's permission

Answer 4

I would say toned down a bit, it is harder then hell to go on a bussiness trip, on a plane, just to get to the airplane, or even a bus, anyway.

Answer 5

oh. I like privacy. but I think we expect not to have any anymore. and what can you do anyways? the government won't let you protest effectively.

Answer 6

Yes I would. I think they should be amped up.

Answer 7

No -- I think that we've sacrificed enough of our privacy

Answer 8

hopeful amped up and yes i would.
