Stop! Look around you for a second. What do you see? I see the government in every security camera I walk by. I see the government at every turn in an airport or at a sports game. They are everywhere I look. There are very little places now a day that you have privacy. It is getting very scary for our future because of the direction we are heading. It is getting to the point that everyone is living in fear. I would agree that security is good, but not when I can’t live a single day without thinking am I being watched. Ever since 9/11 our security protocol has been getting more and more extreme. They went from adding more cops to now checking people’s phone calls and bills.

In the end result it is only making there job easier and our lives more stressful. “The government, have claimed that since this program has been released they have stopped more than 50 attacks”. Why would they release that information and not that they had this program in the first place? I believe that is a made up number to cover their butts for the real one. They need to stop being so self center and think about their country. After reading all about this controversial topic do you agree? Where do you see an overwhelming amount of security where you live? The government programs have now been exposed and it is one of the best things that have been released to us in a long while. It has warned us to be carful what we say now days to anyone. Yes security is good, but only to a certain limit. You just need to be able to know how much privacy you need and speak your mind about a topic in

  • Pros And Cons Of NSA Surveillance

    1525 Words  | 7 Pages

    NSA Surveillance "I can 't in good conscience allow the U.S. government to destroy privacy, internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they 're secretly building" (Edward Snowden). The NSA began monitoring and collecting sensitive and personal information from Americans such as their emails, phone calls, photos and other private material. Massive surveillance began in 2001 after the terrorist attack in New York and since then there has been a big peak in government watching. It 's unnecessary for the NSA to monitor American’s private conversations as well as other sensitive data because people should be able to have a sense of privacy in personal communication with others. Government watching is something that the government shouldn’t do because although there are bad people in this world it is irrelevant for them to watch everyone because not everyone is bad and many people disfavors this decision.

  • If Looks Could Kill By Wendy Kaminer Summary

    When it comes down to security, who can the people trust? Surveillance systems are a popular type of security that can either be effective or ineffective. In her article, “Trading Liberty for Illusions”, published in Free Inquiry, Spring, 2002, Wendy Kaminer, a lawyer, argues that Americans are extremely frightened of the security that they are given, which makes it impossible for them to question the false security that is being traded for their freedom. On the other hand, an article called, “If Looks Could Kill”, published in The Economist magazine in September 2010, The Economist claims that surveillance systems are being enhanced, but will never be perfected.

  • Argumentative Essay On Domestic Surveillance

    606 Words  | 3 Pages

    I do not believe that the U.S.F.G should substantially curtail its domestic surveillance, due to the fact that by dramatically decreasing monitoring of domestic affairs, the U.S. not only makes itself more vulnerable to social, economic, political, and other domestic issues, but it also makes Homeland Security more vulnerable and significantly weaker in their quest to stop terrorism in the United States and guard our borders. Google's dictionary defines the word, "surveillance" as, "close observation, especially of a suspected spy or criminal". By restricting the government's access to monitor and potentially stop espionage or other criminal activity such as terrorism, corruption, cyber attacks/hacking or even fraud, I believe that
