A Secure Life Or A Private Life

摘要

Privacy and national security is a particularly complicated issue within the United States (U.S.). With terrorism taking a grip on the world, the U.S. has been increasingly vigilant in its fight against it. A result of this is tightened security at airports and the implementation of sophisticated data collection technology into information systems. With the integration of data collection technology into national security, there has been concern, voiced by the U.S. public, in regards to their privacy. This exploratory paper will argue for the merits of e-governments in national security and its importance over privacy.
