I’m working on a writing discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
As times change, so does the threat and types of threats we face. Yet, when it comes to protecting people from other people’s actions, most feel they shouldn’t have to give up many of the privacy rights they feel they are now being required to. These concerns are shared by many including those tasked to ensure our protection.
According to Representative Bennie Thompson, a Democrat of Mississippi and ranking member on the Committee on Homeland Security. “As we adopt new technologies to meet the constantly changing needs of our aviation infrastructure in a budget-constrained environment, these technologies must be proven to be effective, protect civil liberties, and properly balance security with passenger privacy,”
Kade Crockford, director of the Technology for Liberty project of the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, said numerous questions remain about the potential widespread use of video analytics tools. “There are so many issues raised by the use of these technologies,” she said. “Will the cameras have face-recognition capabilities, able to track your every move and tap into your Social Security number and other personal information?”
Has the use of technology in aviation security gone too far or not far enough? Where do you stand on this subject? Support your answer.
